Strange baud speeds

Projects Programming
1

Hi,

I want to use a strange baud speed, for example, 10245. Will I have any problems doing this with the Arduino and the serial library?

Thanks,

Cameron.

I am sure it will be interesting!
Check Section 20 and table 20-7 for the common speeds with 16 MHz clock and what settings you might be chasing down.

I investigated magic numbers for software serial - SoftwareSerial magic numbers - Libraries - Arduino Forum - to support any baud rate

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. Please could you provide me with a link to the docs. I'm new to programming chips :S

Thanks

This page http://arduino.cc/en/Serial/begin seems to say that odd baud rates may be used when communicating with a device other than the PC. What device do you want to communicate with ?

THank you, Heilbob,

It seems like I can from that link you sent me. I'm using it to connect to a third party software update unit. (not a PC)

Thank you again,

Cameron.
