8 Channel RS485 Relay Board

“This project helps you control 8 relays using RS485 link with the help of a PC. This kit can effectively convert a standard PC to a powerful PLC ( programmable logic controller ). At the PC end , you will need to use …

Wireless Solar Charge Controller Monitor ( RS485 to WiFi )

“I’ve two solar charge controllers from EPsolar or EPever as they are sometimes known. They are great and have a COM port for monitoring the performance of the panels and state of the battery etc but it’s a …

RS485 Serial Communication between Arduino Mega and Arduino Nano with Visuino

“Sometimes we need to connect Arduino boards located far away from each other. The RS485 is a very convenient way to connect the boards with just 2 wires, and can work to a distance of 1200m (4000 ft). It also …

RS232 - RS485 Converter with Automatic RX - TX Control

“RS232 is one of the most used, easy to develop and easy to apply communication protocol. We generally encounter to this standard at the MCU applications. But it has some restrictions. It allows us to use maximum 15 meters cable …

RS485 Communication Using MAX485 and MSP430 Launchpad

“Here we are going to interface a MSP430 Launchpad with a RS485 transceiver chip like MAX485 and communicate with an x86 PC. Serial(TTL) or RS232 protocol is fine if you are planning to communicate over short distances of a …
