Most of the newer PIC come with the EUSART module which have the function for auto baud rate detection. The features allow a person to set the baud rate at runtime by sending the character `U` or 0x55 to the PIC. With ABDEN (auto baud rate enable) bit set and using BRG clock as a reference, each rising edge occurring on the RX pin is taken as a reference to calculate the SPBRG and SPBRGH value. After the Baud rate is set, the RCIF flag will be set. The receive register must be discarded as it doesn't contain meaningful data. The Image (PIC18F2455 datasheet, page 252) below shows the timing diagram for auto baud rate setup.

A circuit based similar to the UART test is used to demonstrate the capability of auto baud rate generation.Using the code in the project file attached, It will 1st wait for a character "U" to be send over for baud rate calculation. Auto baud is enable using the 3 lines of code below. The UARTReadByte() will read and discard the byte after a successful configuration of baud rate. The LCD display will be the same as the image below after a successful program of the microcontroller. It is currently waiting for the character U to set the baud rate.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
