SparkFun Lightning Detector - AS3935

Arduino 1.8.13 (Windows 10)

I’ve gone through the troubleshooting tips at least twice, tried a different USB cable, computer, etc. however my lightning detector doesn’t appear to initialize. Using either the BasicLightning-SPI or More_Lightning_Features_SPI the results are the same. All that appears in the serial monitor is garbage:

The RedBoard appears to working OK for example the Blink sketch causes LEDs to start blinking as expected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind. Wrong baud rate, my bad.
