UART MAX485 Module

[Jurassic Pork]

hello,
@bnjroos
are you using an expansion board with your WiPy module ?
The expansion board connects P0=RX0, P1=TX0, P4=SD-CMD, P8=SD-DAT0, P9=LED, P10=button, P16=Vbat, P19=CTS, P20=RTS, P23=SD-CLK.
If you use an expansion board, maybe you must use another pin than the P4 pin for RO.
@danielm how have you connected your Lopy to your MAX3485 ?

@danielm said in UART MAX485 Module:

I successfully used MAX3485 with LoPy with my code acting as ModBus slave with range of input registers.
Thank you or the info.
Good to know, me I am trying to make it act as a master. I will continue my tries once I receive my SP3485.

Yes I am using the expansion board and the wipy version 2.0. Actually it comes from the documentation quickref: # this uses the UART_1 default pins for TXD and RXD (P3 and P4)
from pycom

@danielm I am also interested on how you wired your setup, thank you in advance :p

@danielm Hello! Could you share your modbus library?Can it acts as Modbus Master? (in oder to get data from another slaves)

[danielm]

@urbanzz
There is no library, I only wrote simple ModBus client routine which waits for a specific type of command and sends back data from internal register including CRC. If you need ModBus master functionality for commercial purposes, I can help you with that.

Hello,
any update on this?
I have some old modbus plc lying around and i'm trying to use my lopy to communicate as a modbus master with a SP3485 breakout board...but i cannot find a decent modbus library for micropython
