Serial baudrate 31250 omitted in NRF52Serial.cpp, MIDI broken on micro:bit v2 #38

Closed CaptainCredible closed 1 year ago

31250 baud is required for sending MIDI via a 5pin MIDI din

Although the enums for the makecode blocks allow you to set the baudrate to 31250 for the serial communication, doing so on microbit V2, will result in the baudrate being set to 115200. This breaks MIDI output to hardware devices, and breaks the microsoft/pxt-MIDI extension. This is seemingly because a case for 31250 is omitted in lines 196 to 205 in the file NRF52Serial.cpp:

switch(baudrate) { case 9600 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_9600; break; case 38400 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_38400; break; case 57600 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_57600; break; case 115200 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_115200; break; case 230400 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_230400; break; case 921600 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_921600; break; case 1000000 : baud = NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_1000000; break; }

The SDK for NRF52 does suggest support for 31250 baud:
