Remember that the BASIC Stamp can do any baud within it's range, and each group of modules has it's own baud formula that you will find under SERIN and SEROUT in the manau.· For the BS2px, the formula is: INT(4,000,000 ÷ baud rate) - 20.
I've precalculated the most popular baudmodes for use in my programs, and have embedded them into a Conditional Compilation block that is part of my template file.· I find it far easier to delete this section if I don't need it than to have to calculate or look up baud parameters.

This is really a matter of personal preference, but I usually do something like this in my code....
'------------------------------------------------------ 'Initialize varaibles BaudRate CON 9600 Bs2Baud VAR W0 '------------------------------------------------------ 'Calculate BS2Baud Bs2Baud = BaudRate / 100 Bs2Baud = 40000 / Bs2Baud Bs2Baud = Bs2Baud - 20 Bs2Baud = Bs2Baud + 16384 'Inverted Mode '------------------------------------------------------ 'Main program goes below here
...Just be sure and keep your BaudRate to something evenly divisible by 100
