Update now rolled out and available.

Turns out the frame error interrupt was working just fine after the last updates.

In the end it was turning off the UART TX functionality that was causing the problems. Hopefully all resolved now.

Initial quick test results:

So we are getting much closer. I able to receive some dmx data, A first!! Thank you!

There are some complicated oddities around 'data channels', 'start channel' , 'usestart', 'getdatachan', 'recievedatachan' and number of dmx channels coming in. But, there is dmx coming depending on what all of those are set to.

I'll spend more time this weekend and try to figure what is going on.

thanks!
chad

*edit: Also great news on the i2c issue. That is great to hear!

I'm still looking into this. There are definitely problems. There is a big matrix of works/ doesn't based on the variables set in the last post.

It is also REALLY slow. I am thinking there is still something going on in the cal uart..

Still testing..
But I am really happy that we are getting closer.
