Hi,
we trying to connect two arduinos (one of them is an Arduino one and other one is Arduino leonardo).
we are using the software version 1.6.5 and also we have just downloaded SoftwareSerial.h
it came with this examples:
Server:
/* YourDuino SoftwareSerialExample1
- Connect to another Arduino running "YD_SoftwareSerialExampleRS485_1Remote"
- Connect this unit Pins 10, 11, Gnd
- Pin 3 used for RS485 direction control
- To other unit Pins 11,10, Gnd (Cross over)
- Open Serial Monitor, type in top window.
- Should see same characters echoed back from remote Arduino

/* YourDuino SoftwareSerialExample1Remote
- Used with YD_SoftwareSerialExampleRS485_1 on another Arduino
- Remote: Receive data, loop it back...
- Connect this unit Pins 10, 11, Gnd
- To other unit Pins 11,10, Gnd (Cross over)
- Pin 3 used for RS485 direction control
- Pin 13 LED blinks when data is received

we have the hardware correctly connected, but when we send some characters from the Serial monitor , other character are returned, i dont know what are we doing wrong our hardware is this one:

Please Help or im gonna kill my self.
