If a flowchart is created in V7 with a baud rate of 2400.
When opened in V8 baud rate has changed from 2400 to 9600.
Results are the same for both hardware and software modes.

Hi Martin,

Yes I can see why this would be the case. In v7 we copy the CAL filters into our own property filters and then copy back the value from the property to the CAL property.

In v8 we instead simply expose the CAL properties so no copying is required and the component is significantly easier to create without all kinds of bugs creeping in with properties not refreshing correctly or going out of sync etc.

This is a fairly big change and is one of the main pains moving from v7 to v8 so with any CAL based component (SPI / I2C / UART) it's worth checking the component properties are correct. I'm currently not really aware of a way we can fix this automatically.

I've offered the same kind of advice here.

Thanks Ben.
As you have explained not a bug, I have moved the topic to a more appropriate place.
I have not read the wiki article on migrating to V8 before today.

It's a tough one because I really hate breaking working programs and your certainly right to raise the issue.

I'll think on it, there might be a way to do it similar to how we convert v5 projects. It's been a while since I looked at the conversion file so not sure at the moment.
