Re: Strange character on the console mode

Some of those characters e.g. [1;24r are part of ANSI escapes, so the  answer to that might be 'get yourself a decent terminal emulator' .  Or alternative change your terminal setting to something dumber than a vt100 (not sure what the command dor that is offhand).

 

However, it looks like your losing characters, so you might have a speed/flow control problem. I would check that you've got all the correct comms setttings, and maybe try a slower line rate, see if that increases your reliability. It might be that you are getting mangled escapes, and it would all come out fine at a lower speed.
