    Hello everyone.

     

    In the past I have attempted to transfer data from my project to a PC at a high speed and failed to even come close to what I require. I know it is possible to transfer data this fast as I have other products that I have bought that achieve the speed.

    What I require is data packets at 25 Hz, the best I can get is around 2-3 Hz. The data packets are not big. They are 50 bytes long. Going to a faster baud rate does not make them any faster. The difference from 57600 to 115200 is the same.

    The bottle neck I believe is in the AVR sending the packets. I am using a timer to trigger when the next packet should be sent. I am not using a buffer any bigger then the 50 bytes. Maybe a bigger buffer would help ?

    Should I be using a separate Uart SPI chip rather then the internal Uart ?

     

    I am using the Mega2561 at 18 Mhz. I am getting no checksum errors on any of the packets.

     

    Ray.

    hello Ray,

    can you exaplain the 25 Hz in baud rate. does it mean sendign 25 words/sec. how did you measured that “the best I can get is around 2-3 Hz.”

    are you using the USARTor USART in SPI mode can you send the code.
