This is driving me nuts... hopefully someone can help? I've tried just about every terminal emulation program going, and get back nothing but nonsense to all commands EXCEPT '<GETVER>>' which actually sends something sensible.

Example:

lee@nukemon:~/nukemon/php$ sudo php gmc300.php
Running. PID: 9993
Including PHP Serial Class ... ok.
Installing SigHandlers ... ok.
Setting device parameters (57600 8N1 FC:none)... ok.
Device Version: GMC-300Re 2.36
Starting Heartbeat ... ok.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????^C

Caught SIGINT... Resetting device...
Closing socket...
Goodbye!

(1 '?' is generated every second)

In MiniCom I get the same reply to the 'Device Version' query, but sending <GETCPM>> gets me a newline. <GETCFG>> gets me a whole load of same-character gibberish.... and sending <HEARTBEAT1>> in minicom just gets me a space every second.

If <GETVER>> wasn't sending sensible information, I'd say my terminal settings are wrong. But because that sends valid data but nothing else does ... is my firmware a broken one??

Any help appreciated :(

Most data from GMC-300 is in hexadecimal value format, not in ASCII format. Except get firmware version. So you are unable to see the data

Use terminal of Data Viewer software Re2.07. Then you can see all data in hex.
