- Modified 25 April 2015 by Thomas Flayols (add configuration different from 8N1 in ESP8266)
- Modified 13 October 2018 by Jeroen Döll (add baudrate detection)
- Baudrate detection example usage (detection on Serial1):
-   void setup() {
-     Serial.begin(115200);
-     vTaskDelay(100 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
-     Serial.println();
-
-     Serial1.begin(0, SERIAL_8N1, -1, -1, true, 11000UL);  // Passing 0 for baudrate to detect it, the last parameter is a timeout in ms
-
-     unsigned long detectedBaudRate = Serial1.baudRate();
-     if(detectedBaudRate) {
-       Serial.printf("Detected baudrate is %lu\n", detectedBaudRate);
-     } else {
-       Serial.println("No baudrate detected, Serial1 will not work!");
-     }
-   }
-
- Pay attention: the baudrate returned by baudRate() may be rounded, eg 115200 returns 115201
