 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Quite like the look (and price) of this Obviously auto-enabling and I like the isolation and selectable terminating resistor. Waveshare has an interesting store on AE.  |

Looks nice, but... 1/ It can be powered by 3.3V. I wonder how good that is for an isolated switcher. 2/ some of the datasheet is incorrect. This can not be done with RS422, or they violate the output specification, in which case I would not use the device. Outputs cannot parallel. In RS485 you can since they are disabled when not driven, but RS422 is always ON.  Volhout Edited 2024-09-27 03:52 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

That's my point Harm. Lots of newer devices sense the data and auto-enable/disable. Even their 485 devices only require RX, TX, GND on the TTL side. |
