Hello Klaus,

Not sure why you want to create the break and mark-after-break  for the DMX
output this way, using the 9600 baud UART. Timing is never exact (although I
haven't looked into your 'fflush' problem).

Try configuring the Tx-pin of your UART as a normal output pin, generate the
break and mark-after-break sequence with the use of a timer (exact timing)
and then (re)configure the pin as UART Tx-pin again (250 kbBaud). For my DMX
projects I always use this method and it's working fine.
