Terminal emulator for 1843200 baud?

Guest · Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 1:46 pm

Sorry if this is off-topic. Don't know where else to ask, and I cant find anything on google.

I'm trying to test how fast I can transmit reliably from a dsPIC30F4011's UART to a PC, over a FT232R USB>Serial breakout board. I've gotten up to 921600 with no problems, but that's as high as hyperterminal or RealTerm will allow you to set the baud rate. With a 7.3728MHz XT and 16x PLL, I should be able to get 1843200 baud.

Does anyone know of a terminal emulator that will allow you to use a baud rate of 1843200?

In siow from CCS there is an "other" baud option.

I never used it,.. but you could try.

on almost any middle age to NEW PC 115200 Kbaud is the speed limit
( using an actual UART)

for windows API mapped stuff like the edgeport USB virtual serial port - 230Kbaud to 460kbaud is it

You will also find that if it is RS-232 levels you are using - then there are ERROR rate vs cable length issues possible too

a max baud rate for things like MAX232 interface adapters needs to be considered too, as the engineered anti-RFI rise/fall time aspects of the MAX232 and its brothers and sisters will bite you too.

you will need a very specialized bit of hardware to get it to a PC

between PICS , with complementary hardware you are better off
