PROS Using Custom uart

[Highwayman]

I’m trying to implement a custom uart interface using pros. As a simple test I have

void initializeIO() {
  usartInit(uart1, 9600, SERIAL_8N1);
}

and

void operatorControl() {
	while (true)
	{
                fputc('2', uart1);
		delay(25);
	}
}

All that I see getting sent across is garbage and only about one character every few seconds.
I’ve checked that the baud rates are the same on both ends and that Tx/Rx wiring is correct.

Not sure if I’m missing something about how to use the uart ports in the code or if it’s a hardware issue . . .

Is the issue somehow related to encoding settings? I know accessing the terminal on a computer requires a specific setting…

I’m not particularly familiar with the specifics of UART though, so I may be completely wrong.
