[Swansea Hackspace] you have probably seen this

[Tim Moore]

For the record, the Arduino 'ADD' option was used on installation of the
Arduino IDE and it worked fine on selecting the serial board ttyUSB0 at
9600 baud.

the CR+NewLine option worked well to.

It would not go faster than 9600 baud.

However it solved the problem immediately !

Many many thanks !
