Arduino Nano - baud rate #27

Closed kovapatrik closed 3 years ago

kovapatrik commented 3 years ago

Hi!

I tried to change the baud rate to 460800 for having more FPS, but then the Nano couldn't control the LEDs. I have 103 LEDs and with the baud rate set to 153600, it's working.

I use the Prismatik software on my PC.

That's not an issue with the firmware, that's an issue with the hardware on your microcontroller and what baud rates it supports. If you're using a knockoff Nano with a CH340G instead of an FT232RL, try using either 250,000 or 500,000 baud. Otherwise I would recommend testing the baud rate and serial interface using a terminal program standalone (i.e. not using the Adalight firmware) until you find a fast baud rate that works on your hardware.

Ah okay, thanks for your help!
