Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have two devices, one set with SMOD = 0 and the other with SMOD = 1, both connected at a baud rate of 9600 bps. Describe what will happen if they try to communicate.

💡 Hint: Think about how different settings can affect communication.

Question 2

Calculate the initial baud rate and determine whether SMOD would be favorable if your application requires rapid data transmission at 115200 bps.

💡 Hint: Did you check how SMOD affects your base baud rate?
