Well, I have been just keeping the usb to arduino2 plugged in after I transfer the file. I do not send anything in the serial monitor. I just open the arduino2 serial monitor and test the pots display using This is letter: A and This is letter: B to make sure they are working and it records which pot is being executed which it works 90% of the time and then you get those weird values I showed above and then the big jump from 800 to 8 sometimes.
So now I need to open both serial monitors and check to see the problem and see why arduino2 might not be displaying the correct values as arduino1 sometimes correct?
