Earlier i was given the code

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SIMA6 (10,11);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  SIMA6.begin(115200);
  Serial.print("WORKING????");
}

void loop() {
  while (SIMA6.available())
  {
    Serial.write(SIMA6.read());
  }
  while (Serial.available())
  {
    char x = Serial.read();
    SIMA6.write(x);//(Serial.read());
    Serial.println(x);
  }

}

This works but my sima6 board won't respond :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :confused: :confused: :confused:

There is an example program that lets you do just that. Let me go find it.

It might be the one titled swsertest under examples\EspSoftwareSerial

It first displays a bunch of characters then echoes what you type into the "send". I think that the 1st send doesnt take for some reason, prolly got to do with buffer junk.
I did it for a feather huzzah board.
I hope this of some help.

Two points, I’m not sure how well software serial works at 115200, and are you sure the module is configured to operate at 115200 when you start ?
