RS-485 02: Receive Data

This sketch shows how to send data through RS-485 standard.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x RS-485

Notes

- Waspmote must be powered with a battery - RS-485 does not specify or recommend any communications protocol. - For a complete communication protocol, please see the Modbus examples - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
