Wifly and return characters 515451545154

Hi folks,

Arduino newbie setting up Wifly for school project.

RN131C shield on a Uno Rev3.

Having problems getting device to reply properly.

Downloaded SpiUartTerminal so that I can try to talk to the RN131C.

Run sketch and get


SPI UART on WiFly Shield terminal tool
--------------------------------------
This is a tool to help you troubleshoot problems with the WiFly shield.
For consistent results unplug & replug power to your Arduino and WiFly shield.
(Ensure the serial monitor is not open when you remove power.)
Attempting to connect to SPI UART…
Connected to SPI UART.
* Use $$$ (with no line ending) to enter WiFly command mode. (“CMD”)
* Then send each command followed by a carriage return.
Waiting for input.


The enter $$$ and get:

515451545154

Then if I try CMD I get:

5555555456

or even if I enter a single “a” (without quotes) I get:

5755

Is this baudrate misconfiguration… tried changing values but no success.

Any suggestions…
