Aug 17, 2015 at 7:05 comment added jippie I wouldn't be surprised if the increased BER is due to a cheap fake serial chip. (FTDI counterfeit) @ConnorWolf
Feb 19, 2014 at 7:01 comment added Connor Wolf Hell, I use 9600 myself for most debugging crap. It's not just you. It's just occationally I need to push a lot of data around, and knowing the limits is important.
Feb 19, 2014 at 6:54 comment added jippie @FakeName I'm a dinosaur, I kinda like "9600 8N1" for all the wrong legacy reasons you can think of ;o)
Feb 19, 2014 at 6:51 comment added Connor Wolf High baud-rates, particularly if U2Xn = 1 in the USART, tend to get pretty cranky about mismatch.
Feb 19, 2014 at 6:49 comment added Connor Wolf No kidding! Huh. I wonder how bad the layout has to be to have that happen? I'd suspect it's not layout as much as poor-tolerance resonators/crystals, though.
Feb 19, 2014 at 6:44 comment added jippie @FakeName At least one board on my desk here has increased BER when I push serial speed. I usually use 9600, that is more than enough for most applications and is robust.
Feb 19, 2014 at 6:40 comment added Connor Wolf I really, REALLY doubt any of the boards out there have layout issues severe enough to prevent a 2 Mhz signal from working fine. 2 Mhz isn't exactly high frequency.
