Hardware UART with bit stop 1.5

[nicotec]

Hi , as in subject I need to use UART serial module of PIC24FJ16GA002 with bit stop 1.5, but noted that is possible to set 1 (as default) or 2.
Since I need to connect a camera using RS232 with stop bit 1.5, I ask if it is possible.
Thank in advance.
Regards

It sounds somewhat unlikely, but may be, 1.5 stop bits is actually used. Microchip processors don't directly provide this setting, you have to use workarounds. On reception, you need to set 1 stop bit not to cause errors. You may either switch to 2 stop bits on send (assuming a half duplex protocol) or send individual characters with a delay.

Yes. A UART set to 1 stop bit, will receive characters with 1.5 stop bits fine, while one set to 2 stop bits will send data that a UART set to use 1.5 stop bits will use fine. Remember that stop bit values are _minima_, so a receiver must always accept data with more stop bits (just a gap between the characters).

Best Wishes

Ok, thank You, so to send data to equipment with specification stop bit =1.5 I can use 2 stop bit, since I need only to send command to a camera.
I'll try and post here my result.
Bye
