This feature also requires the use of the LIN protocol which is designed fo= r autobaud detection, so you are constrained to having the first character = sent as either all 0s or all 1s (I can't remember which), and the baud rate= generator determines the width of that and then sets itself to the appropr= iate value before the next start bit arrives. --=20 Scanned by iCritical. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
