Serial Port Baud rate

I'm attempting to communicate with a LED display via Serial, but the LED display only uses 1200 baud, the slowest baud rate selectable via BrightAuthor is 1800. Is there a way to force the Brightsign to 1200 baud?

    it would have to be done in the autorun file or via script, or using a plugin.  If we use a plugin, we'd then change how the actual commands are sent. it might be easier to hardcode a change in the autorun file as a test to see if it works.

    Similar issue- the device I'm communicating with only supports 1200 baud - if there's a script or plugin please advise

    I don't have a way to test this currently, but will later this week. But, if you're adventurous, this may do the trick..

     

    'ports peed 1200
    'send and receive end of line character hard coded at CR
    'serial port # assumed to be 0
    'Plugin currently assumes ascii strings

    I'll post again after I test the plugin.
