I did tested my setup RAK3172 with RUI3 v4.2.4 at 9600. I still see the plus sign.
This is the simple code I used.
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 115200 bits per second, and use the AT mode
Serial.begin(115200, RAK_AT_MODE);
// initialize serial communication at 115200 bits per second, and use the custom mode
Serial1.begin(9600, RAK_AT_MODE);
delay(2000);
Serial.println("UART1 9600");
Serial1.println("UART1 9600");
}
void loop() {
}
Is this a repeatable scenario to you? Do you have other codes other than setting up the UART1? Where do you get the EVT:RX_1:-31:8:UNICAST:1:12345678 reading? On a USB-UART converter or on a host MCU?
