This is the default speed of the vmodem script. If you have modified the script, make adjustments as needed. Make sure both the speed setting on the script and this setting are the same or the script will not work. If you adjust the script, you may need to restart the script (or if you have it running on boot, restart Raspberry Pi entirely with “sudo shutdown -r now” to restart and reload the script with the new speed setting). |
