Is it okay to use a different baudrate - like 9600 instead of 115200?

Hi,

In the documentation for WhisperNode LoRa, it says that the default sketch upload speed is 115200 bps, but since some of my external components use 9600 bps, I tried to upload the sketch using 9600 bps:

Code: Select all

Serial.begin(9600);

and the program worked well for me. So, is it okay to use 9600 or other baudrate instead of 115200? Are there any drawbacks or some things I need to take care of?

Thanks,
Tanmay

You can use any speed for the Serial at the main program. Only for uploading the firmware you need to stick with the serial speed configured at the bootloader.
