WiFly RN-131GSX and ASCII Echo

Wireless & IoT
1

Good afternoon,

I am having issues with this WiFly module, unless I am mis-understanding something somewhere (possible) I believe that it should echo on a terminal screen, and a telnet screen (whilst not in command mode) any ASCII strings or characters that it receives over UART.

However, I am using the Package tracker board (as I require the use of the sensors it comes loaded with) and have used the rprintf function to output to a terminal through UART0 on the board, once I confirmed this worked I connected the WiFly module to UART0 and expected to see the same output.

Am I missing something silly or very small somewhere?

Any input on a telnet session to the WiFly module is correctly echoing onto the terminal screen which suggests that everything is happily wired up correctly.

As far as I know, characters are only echoed in a terminal when in command mode. I think whether or not they are echoed when there is a connection open is a configuration option. I don't think they're ever echoed when there is no open connection and the module is not in command mode.
