rs485 on nano
-
i tested again . connected gateway to my laptop (use domoticz for laptop) and use a 30 meter wire between gateway and first node. and again use a 5 meter wire for second node ( without any resistor). when start domoticz , nodes detect easy and start working well. i test again and again (with reset and power off/on)but this is ok and dont any problem(relay give command and send ack and all of thing is true) . then i connect gateway to raspberry (2 nodes is connect to laptop yet) so for a short time relay worked ( 2 - 3 command send and relay on without ack ) then all command can not send....
again i connect gateway to laptop and all command send and ok .
so i think this is related to power of usb port (raspberry)
can i use rx-tx gpio on raspberry and arduino and use other power for arduino ?how configure on raspberry ? thank you -
Many hours I solved why MySe485 example does not work :angry: ... I tried Mega, Uno, Mini, Nano, reinstallation of IDE, libraries, ClearEepromConfig, HWserial / AltSoftSerial / direct (Tx <> Rx) + (Rx <> TX) without MAX485 ...
The other day I came across this forum and the solution is:
#define MY_NODE_ID xx
I saw a bug that RS485 communication is bad, because it is illegible. My mistake, the communication between GW and the node is not readable ASCII ...

@vikmad Are your gateway and receiving node baud rates the same? You can get gibberish like that if your baud rates differ between nodes.

@Reza
Maybe stupid question from me, but have got you connected ground wires between nodes?
Not only A and B?

Not only A and B?no i use just 2 wire ( A & B ) . but problem is solve. i change power of raspberry. this work well !
this is compulsion (wire for ground) ? or if i connect ground of 2 nodes is better ?

No, connecting ground is not mandatory.. In fact, i would not recommend it at all, especialy not on longer bus lengts.. Just use A&B
If you have shielded cables.. Connect the shielding to gnd on 1 side only and leave the other side unconnected..
This will provide shielding but prevent ground loop issues.

Also keepin mind that those cheap rs485 adapters have a 120ohm load resistor and pull up and pulldown resistors installed for the rs485 bus..
Those should only ve installed on the ends of the data bus.. So remove them from the rest of the adapters if you use more than 2.

@Reza Though your two pictures are both bus topologies, your first one is a star bus topology and your second is a linear bus topology. As to your second question "so in end of A and B , what am i do ?" Depending on a few factors such as equipment connected, cable type, cable length and data speed (baud rate) used, you may or may not need a termination resistor at the end of the line. For short runs you typically won't need them, but if you have hundreds of feet you are working with, you may want them, especially if you want to run at a higher baud like 115200 or higher. As to the resistor value, just do a google search for "RS485 termination resistor."
