Operation is possible at 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, 14,400, 19,200, 28,800, 38,400, 57,600 or 115,200bit/s.
“The actual fibre optic emitter and receiver pair can operate up to 5M baud – the shield is simply a way of demonstrating the potential of incorporating an optical fibre link into a design,” said OMC. “Data can be monitored either by using the serial monitor of the Arduino software, or the code is written to interface with a standard 16×2 LCD shield which can be stacked on top of the fibre shield.”
