17 * \brief Set the baud rate (transmission frequence)
18 *
19 * The baud rate is the number of symbols to be transfered within one second.
20 * Hence this defines the transmission interval for a single symbol:
21 * \f$ T = \frac{1s}{BAUD\_RATE} \f$
22 *
23 * \warning In case your connection is instable you should propably
24 * consider a lower frequency!
25 *
26 * \param baud the desired baud rate
27 *
28 * \retval 4 using CPU frequency/1024 for timer
29 * \retval 3 using CPU frequency/256 for timer
30 * \retval 2 using CPU frequency/64 for timer
31 * \retval 1 using CPU frequency/8 for timer
32 * \retval 0 using CPU frequency for timer
33 * \retval -1 baud rate too high
34 * \retval -2 baud rate too low
35 * \retval -3 setting baud rate not supported (default BAUD_RATE is used)
