Odd parity

[Malcolm]

We have been supplied with a module that sends SpO2 data but it uses 8bit, plus odd parity. I have seen the many questions on this subject and only pose this question to add to the obvious frustration that a chip manufacturer could not implement both even and odd parity as the world has many examples of both, with odd probably being more prevalent. Unbelievable.

Whether even or odd parity is the most common I guess would be a bit tricky to determine. The reason for the even parity on the nRF is from the opposite impression. 

I am sorry, but it is difficult to change the HW after production, so the nRF52 doesn't support odd parity. There is not much to do about that.

It may be possible to hack something together by using the ERROR event and checking for the parity error. Not sure how that would work.

I am sorry that we don't support odd parity. I understand your frustration.

Best regards,

Edvin
