The maximum baud rate for the device is 115200 error when initializing Hue Plus

[TalGruper]

on this line: HuePlus h = new HuePlus();

i always get an execption: ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The maximum baud rate for the device is 115200.

If you would like to submit a PR changing the baud to 115.2k, I'll get it merged :) you can find it here

i tried it but on any other speed i get "write timeout"

[akmadian]

I’ve thought about it, and, to be honest, I don’t know how I would fix this.. any ideas?

Also pinging @jonasmalacofilho to see if he might have any ideas.

[jonasmalacofilho]

I don't understand exactly what's going on here.

Is this an API issue (.NET doesn't like that baud rate), or does the device report (somehow) that it wants a lower baud rate? Alternatively, could this be a problem with the virtual COM (the bridge itself or the drivers you have installed)?

[akmadian]

I think it's either device side, or the virtual COM. @TalGruper, what are your Hue+ firmware and HID driver versions? These can both be found in CAM under the hard drive icon on the left, please also include build numbers :)

[TalGruper]

I don't think it's and API issue but rather a problem with the virtual COM, it looks like my specific device is asking for different speed but again, I tried every COM speed and it timesout.

[jonasmalacofilho]

Actually, I don't think that's likely: the bridge supports baud rates in the 300-1000k range, and kursti8/hue-plus seems to use 256k without problems.

[stbatuhan]

I have same error too. Is there any news?

[akmadian]

Maybe we could try initializing at 115k, and if that fails, try 255k, and if that also fails, then throw exception. @stbatuhan would you be interested in testing this out, and if it works for you, making a PR for it?

[stbatuhan]

I am not able to debug solution :/ I integrated to console app but not stopping on creating device. It is directly throwing exception. Can you provide a test project?

[stbatuhan]

Today I gave another chance. Download source and integrated new console application. Now changed baudrate to lower value. So I am able to init program but it gaves me error on channels. It seems null :/ Am I able to force it? tried setting channel seperately but on step into part channel still null.
