Information

This component is for advanced users who can modify the Firmata source code or have a non-Arduino board running Firmata. This component allows you to specify your preferred baud rate and sampling interval.

The baud rate is specified with the 'BaudRate' property. You have to consider that standard serial ports do not support arbitrary baud rates.

When setting the 'UpdatePeriod' property, it is necessary to change the 'Interval length' in the simulation settings, to match the update period.

Parameters (5)

Port
