RS485 Serial communication not working.

I am refering to this example. https://industruino.com/blog/our-news-1/post/rs485-serial-communication-28

I have two industruino devices connected as per shown in above link the sender code is working fine. But at the reciever device no result.

At reciver end  lcd.print(Serial.available()) = 0 and Serial.read() = -1;

Hi, are you using the exact code as in the link example? It does not print the Serial.available() and it only does Serial.read() when Serial.available() > 0

Make sure your wires are correct A to A, B to B and both INDIOs have to be powered with external 12/24V

In the example code I have just added print lines for available and read in loop. and connection is also A to A, B to B. As for power is concern I have used USB cable.

USB cable only powers up the topboard, not the base, so RS485 will not work with USB power only

Is power voltage 12/24V is mandatory?
