Yeah, we thought about that, and its great if you've got a CM-5 to change it, but (a) I don't have a CM-5, so it wasn't an option, and (b) we wanted a general solution that would work with any AX-12 without having to go and mess with it first.

But... do you need cm-5 for that? You could use broadcast to change the value. Or actually, you don't even have to use broadcast.. it doesn't mather if you read the reply or not.

Or was the default baud rate giving you problems with this?

I suspect it might be an electrical problem, as the AX-12 would be trying to drive that line while the gumstix still has it asserted as an output.

I have no idea if that would cause a problem.

For what I'm trying to build, fast response time and low latency is a must, so increasing that value too much would be a bad thing.

In any case, for me its a moot point, as I'm not going to be using the gumstix for this project.
