the number of logic-high bits even. If the parity is odd, the parity bit is 1,
resulting in 3 logic-high bits.
Stop Bit: Either 1 or 2. It is used to signal the end of communication for a single
packet. The more bits used for stop bits, the greater the lenience in
synchronizing the different clocks but the slower the data transmission
rate. In default mode, the value is 1.
