Up until now, the stop bits value was hard coded to be 2 if the parity mode was set to none or 1 if the parity mode was set to even or odd.
So a setting of "115200E1" would result in a stop bit value of 1. But "115200E2" would result also in a stop bit value of 1. And "115200N1" would result in a stop bit value of 2.
This is not a restriction of libmodbus. The library supports all these modes just fine. In fact they are using 115200N1 in the documentation for modbus_new_rtu().
Rather this is a bug in the string parsing that libmodbuspp introduces in its constructor.
libmodbus has no string parsing in modbus_new_rtu() and takes in the arguments as parameters directly.
