To use it, just simply plug this shield onto Arduino Uno.

Note: As the RS485 shield and the USB port on the Arduino Uno are using the same TTL UART of Atmega328. Please remove the shield when you want to download program through the Arduino IDE.

Programming

Serial class of Arduino can be used for RS485 shield.

FAQ

Please list your question here:

  • Will you offer 3.3 CDC version of your current shield, I could use it for use with Arduino DUE projects, and I would think so could many others.

Thank you.

    • We don't have DUE. But we test it on pcDuino (pcduino.com) which is also a 3.3V, it works.
    • Did you power the RS485 shield with 5V or 3.3 V?
    • 5v. The standard arduino sockets.
    • YES! It works fine with arduino due. Thank You.
