Hi @mf2105

See this thread:

> **[Serial2 Max Baud Rate](http://community.particle.io/t/serial2-max-baud-rate/16769)**

> Does anyone know if Serial2 can hit 115200 baud rate? I have a project that is working on Serial1 just fine, but when I switch to Serial2.begin(115200) and connect my project to D0(RX) and D1(TX) nothing seems to work. I have already imported the...
