RS 485 Impossible to communicate with other device

Good morning,

I try to use RS 485 to communicate between my IND.I/O (Master) and on other device (Slave) to have power and tempretures, but it doesn't worked. I precise, my code work well with an arduino Uno.

I leave one switch on 120 ohm with the jumper (I remove the two others 560 ohm) , the pin TxEnablePin is 9, Name of the port is Serial...

I d'on't understant what's happen. If anybody can help me that will be nice. 

Thank a lot for your help.

Olivier

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply.  I meant I get zeros, even if SerialUSB.begin() is commented out. 

I found the switch and the RS 485 works now.

Thank again for your help.

Hi, that looks all good, except you have commented out the SerialUSB.begin() so you won't see any feedback in the Serial Monitor. Or do you mean you only get zeros? 

There is a hardware switch on the baseboard that needs to in the lower position to enable RS485 (towards the A/B terminals) but that should be in that position by default. You only need it if you want to disconnect D0/D1 from the RS485 port to use it for something else.
