Re: [micro-manager-general] sma/smb/bnc arduino shield for Micromanager?

[Rusty N. <rus...@gm...>]

Karl,

Very happy to hear it is working well for you!

Absolutely no reason not to up the baud rate.  The system was originally
made to 'pre-configure' a programmed sequence and then have camera trigger
iterate through that.  The serial communications for a state device +
shutter was added years later.  We have never noticed a problem with
latency with the default baud rate and frankly never bothered to change
it.

Thanks,
Rusty
