During the prototyping of the StrobIt Triggr, I found that I could only hit the maximum bit rate of approx 12000bps, this is a far cry from the reported 256Kbps, so what was I doing wrong?
 It appears that there are a couple of factors that affect the data rate, one is how you connect [...]]]></description>
