    There are faster hardware interfaces (ie SPI), but as has been pointed out your code needs to be able to keep up, and that gets difficult.
    I've run a UART link up to 460K baud reliably, but that was with a PIC18 @ 64MHz

    Here's how fast a byte gets transferred at different baud rates:
    115.2K = 86us
    230.4K = 43us
    460.8K = 21us

    If your ISR can't keep up with those rates then you'll loose bytes.
    A UART is probably your best bet since it's double buffered in hardware, plus it's easy to use.

    I agree.
    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!
