Bitrate between 9600 and 115200?

Maybe try "coolterm" instead of putty?

If you connect the DB 9 to your computer, then do not connect TX and RX to Z-Uno UART (only 3V3 and GND) but connect the converter's RX to the converter's TX, does the terminal echo what you type?

We were typing at the same time.. UNO cannot do less than 9600 bps.

There is another topic about bit-banging... Give me a second...

Your problem finds confirmation (but no solution) here:

https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?f=3427&t=26015

This guy tried or tries to do "parity" by bit-banging and finds out... The Z-Uno runs faster or slower depending on its opwer supply:

This guys says he "ordered an SPI to UART bridge" but he does not mention if it works...

For a shame, adding another bridge is too complex for me.
A change in HW UART to support 2400 baud would be perfect for me, even if I had to buy a new HW version of Z-UNO.

Regarding Software Serial, I know that library from Arduino, but it's unportable, as it uses too much of ARK-specific code.

We plan to make SoftwareUART soon. Please stay tuned

Hi guys,
I tried that new SoftwareSerial library with 2400baud and it works GREAT :)
Thanks!
