[SOLVED] RS485 node with STM32



  • I try to get a node based on STM32 to work with RS485. No success. Mysensors does send on RS485, but does not receive anything. I checked the signals with scope. Physically TX signals go out and reply from gateway goes into RX pin, but is not read by mysensors lib. I tried all UARTs. Apart from mysensors lib, I'm able to do serial communication with other UARTs than the one used for RS485.
    I used F103 and F401/411 with both STM libs (maple, ST) when possible.

    If I just change the ST chip to AVR it works instantly. So network and GW are not the issue.

    Any suggestions what to measure/change?

  • @karlheinz2000 Unfortunately there are no debug messages in the RS485 driver code available. I mean something similar to MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24 for the RF24 transport.

    When you don't get any input at the STM32 side I would start by adding some "Serial.println(x)" into the function _serialProcess() in ~\MySensors\hal\transport\RS485\MyTransportRS485.cpp
    to check if there is something coming in at least.

    HTH



  • @virtualmkr thanks for pointing to _serialProcess(). This help to understand a little more how it works.
    I finally found the issue: bias resistors (10k) at A and B lost connection, so during bus idle RX was low and not high. For AVR this was not a problem, but STM32 did not synchronize right to the frame.



  • @karlheinz2000 sounds great that you found the bug. It's always difficult to tell if it is a HW or SW bug on MCUs. From your first description it seems like a SW one to me.
