It's nice to see the signal pattern drawn unambiguously, to end the confusion once and for all. But for maximum clarity and zero doubt, wouldn't it have been better to choose an even more unique pattern ? I find it unfortunate that in ASCII character 'K' (0x4B), the nibble 4 happens to be the inverse of the nibble B. Perhaps it's far-fetched, but somebody might still read the first part of the pattern as the nibble 4, and the latter part as the nibble B. Why not use the letter 'L' for example, there would be really no way to misread the bits of 0x4C in the pattern. Bokske (talk) 10:16, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! This is really good. I wasn't sure if bit 0 was sent first followed later by bit 7, or vice-versa. This diagram clearly shows bit 0 (LSB) arriving first, followed later by bit 7 (MSB). And that also explains why the low nibble (4-bits of 0xB) comes first, before the high nibble (0x4). What this diagram shows graphically would be very hard to describe in only words without a high risk of misinterpretation. Equally important, Bokske's comment (above) is very insightful and pertinent, and I agree with him 100%. 72.73.195.49 (talk) 02:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
