7.1 Mismatched Configuration (Baud/Parity/Stop Bits)

With UART, the receiver must match the transmitter’s settings to function correctly. There are three settings that must be matched:

Baud Rate
Parity
Number of Stop Bits
Number of Data Bits

If one of these settings is set incorrectly, the receiver may get corrupted data or no data at all, depending on how the receiver is configured.
