Revision history [back]

I have the same issue with the Arduino Pro Mini 5v, and Arduino Nano. When I run the Hello World example some messages get through and some get the "Serial Port read returned short (expected 72 bytes, received 8 instead)." error.

I have found that on the Arduino Mega everything works as it should. You may need to switch to a different Arduino board to get your project to work properly.
