Turns out the wires on the receiving arduino were connected to the wrong pins, I reconnected them and I am now receiving data. Sadly the bytes I'm receiving are all 255
Your original (seemingly unrepresentative) schematic only shows 1 Arduino?
Did you miss-wire the sensor or what? Because I would have thought you would have seen something on the scope even if pin 8 was connected to a wrong Arduino pin.
Please post an accurate schematic.
