Hy there, Something bugs me since quite a while. If a sketch is written using for instance "Serial.begin(115200)"... It lets me know that Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor has to be set to 115200 Bauds in order to display whatever I need to see... The same logic applies if I write a sketch with "Seri…

[image] ericvill: Is there a difference between these different baud rates? The higher the baud rate, the faster data will be transferred by the interface [image] ericvill: Why does Arduino leave the choice between a whole range of different baud speeds (rates)? In order to suit the r…

[image] ericvill: Do not ask me why... it is just something which bugs me since a while... it's actually quite a frequent usage. ➜ For example you would listen to / talk to your GPS or GPRS or MP3 module at 9600 bauds and print out debug trace or information to the Serial monitor ou a Nexio…

Thanks UKHeliBob and J-M-L :slightly_smiling_face:
