USB CH340 to RS485 Converter Adapter Module
RS485 device (e.g., a temperature sensor)Software Requirements:Arduino IDE (version 1.8 or later)Code Example:
```cpp
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>// Define the RX and TX pins for the RS485 communication
#define RS485_RX 2
#define RS485_TX 3// Create a SoftwareSerial object to communicate with the RS485 device
SoftwareSerial rs485(RS485_RX, RS485_TX);void setup() {
// Initialize the serial communication with the RS485 device
rs485.begin(9600);
}void loop() {
// Send a command to the RS485 device
rs485.println("Read temperature");// Read the response from the RS485 device
char Buffer[10];
rs485.setTimeout(500);
rs485.readBytesUntil('
', Buffer, 10);// Print the received data
Serial.println(Buffer);
delay(1000);
}
```
Example 2: Using the Converter with a Python Script (Windows)In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the USB CH340 to RS485 Converter Adapter Module with a Python script to communicate with a RS485 device in a Windows environment.Hardware Requirements:USB CH340 to RS485 Converter Adapter Module
RS485 device (e.g., a temperature sensor)Software Requirements:Python 3.x (with pyserial library installed)Code Example:
```python
import serial# Open the serial port connected to the RS485 device
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1) # Replace COM3 with the actual COM portwhile True:
# Send a command to the RS485 device
ser.write(b'Read temperature
')# Read the response from the RS485 device
response = ser.readline().decode('utf-8').strip()# Print the received data
print(response)
time.sleep(1)
```
Note: In this example, replace `COM3` with the actual COM port assigned to the USB CH340 to RS485 Converter Adapter Module.These examples demonstrate the basic usage of the USB CH340 to RS485 Converter Adapter Module in different contexts. You can modify the code to suit your specific application requirements.
