The Irdroid USB IrDA transceiver comes factory pre-configured for 9600 baud rate serial communication. The baud rate can be changed by using the on-board switch (or via solder jumpers) and sending specific HEX commands toward the onboard mcp2120 for changing the baud rate setting.

Changing the Baud rate:

The unit allows you to change the irDA SIR baud rate by sending a specific control command when the module is in command mode (by using the on board switch.) Please refer to MCP2120 datasheet for more information on switching the serial baud rates.
