Hello to all forum members,
I am trying to establish communication between an evaluation board and my arduino but in vain.
Here what works :
Im able to communicate with my evaluation board via FTDI usb cable, and docklight sending HEX data. The evaluation board has a MCU wich I can communicate with at 115,2 kbps. The MCU then communicates to two other chips at 500 kbps.
Now what frustrates me 
I plugged in my arduino Mega to the evaluation board.
TX , RX , GND .
Everything is in TTL UART .
And set my baudrate at 500kpbs in order to communicate directly to the chips without using the MCU of the evaluation board. ( jumpers disconnected )
I tried sending an HEX command with something simple as :
byte message1[] = {0x80, 0xC1, 0x01, 0x91, 0xB8 };
Serial1.write(message1, 5);
Unfortunately the two chips does not seem to receive the command.
What I have also tried, is to plug in my arduino like a packet sniffer to ensure myself that I get the same command I sent via docklight to the MCU of my evaluation board. The MCU does not modify in any sort the HEX command (Im 100 % sure).
PC -> FTDI USB CABLE (115.2kbps) -> Onboard MCU (evaluation board) -> chips ( 500kbps) -> RX pin of one of the chips to RX pin of my arduino
And here what I get :
Sending via docklight : 88 B0 55 05 D5 14
Receiving on my Arduino : 87 0B 55 B5 34
Sending via docklight : 89 B0 55 05 D4 E8
Receiving on my Arduino : 19 60 A5 5 B4 C8
Could it be the hardware serial of the Arduino not supporting 500kbps ?
I really hope you could enlighten me.
Thank you in advance .
