Hi all,
Newbie here trying to get RS-485 communication to function properly. Here are the details of my project:
1. Netduino 2 Plus with factory firmware
2. Bought this shield to provide RS-485 port for my Netduino: http://store.linkspr...r-arduino-v2-1/
3. Going to use SerialPort class to manage connection with shield on COM1 (D0 and D1). Using VS 2013 to write the code and deploy solution to Netduino. Ran a simple test (flashing light) and deploy was successful and code worked.
4. Will connect twisted pair from CAT6 cable from target device to RS-485 shield (see 2 above) to handle physical transport of RS-485 signals.
5. SerialPort code will write a byte array that target device will expect and know what to do with. I will use the ReceivedData event handler to get the byte array response.
Quick questions: Has anybody ever gotten RS-485 communication to work with a Netduino using a breakout board or shield built for Arduino? Are there any gotchas I'm missing?
Thanks a bunch,
Paul
