So I have a need to override a pushbutton (from ON to OFF) and came up with this concept; a solenoid piggyback on a pushbutton switch with a 3D printed cap held by a strand of wire.

By lowering the baud rate you're now allowing device B (and SERIN2) twice the time to receive the bits and assemble the byte.
That's probably what's helping a lot more than any line noise issue.

Tumbleweed, I had very strong suspicions that the issues were in the communication lines. I changed the Baud rate from 19200 to 9600 and I haven't got anymore wrong data at the receiver. I remember...
Ioannis, yes I'm doing data validation checks all the time. The first byte of the array is always 174. If this condition is not met, then the reading is discarded.

I have been thinking for a while, how to put togeter a simple microstepper controller without using a ready made commercial driver.
At the end, I came up with this simple project capable to drive unipolar stepper motor in three different modes
FULL STEP
HALF STEP
MICRO STEP
The Pic micro used in this work is a Pic 16F628 a powerfull small micro with PWM capability. With this MCU plus a 74HC04 and a74HC86 the controller will produce 20 microsteps out of a nominal motor step.
An additional improvement of this controller, is the capability to accept travel commands of 24 Bits, wich gives to the user the possibility to send positioning profile of over 16 millions steps.
Controller accept commands via TTL serial port @ 9600,n,8,1 and return an (Ack) once the positioning profile has been completed.
Download the zipped MicroStepper.zip file which contains schematic + software + user manual
Also attached is a simple stepper controller example called Stepper_MK2.zip
