Baud rate
« on: February 28, 2010, »
Found this in the Enttec USB Pro API manual:

Install the VCOM FT245BM device driver on the PC. Since the driver is a virtual COM port, the
baudrate setting used to open this COM port is a dummy value, and does not control the USB
communication speed.

Is this true of the Lynx Dongle as well? I understand the communication from the PC to ftdi chip would be at 480 mb/s, but what about from the ftdi chip to the PIC?

The connection between the FTDI module and the PIC is 8-bit parallel, not serial.

So the baud rate setting is truly irrelevant then?
