#144746 - Another issue...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As described the bus is a 'star' configuration - unless you have a transceiver pair for each slave, this arrangement is not to be recommended- why? you have a number of transmission lines fed from the one point so how do you terminate each one without providing an excessive load to the master? Sure, it will most likely work in the workshop, in the field may be a different kettle of fish. Bahaya! Dilarung! ini tidak bagus.

Also, as Stefan points out - you can't have multiple slaves talking at the same time unless your master has a uart for each slave. It is much simpler to have half duplex comms - Most instrumentation protocols work this way- Modbus is a popular one. Also using half duplex, you can choose whether you want to have a star, daisy chain or both configuration without needing multiple uarts on your master.

   not enough clear            01/01/70 00:00      
   RS485 code at code library didn't work's            01/01/70 00:00      
   .ASM or .C code nevermind            01/01/70 00:00      
      But what do you need it to do?            01/01/70 00:00      
         485 master slave            01/01/70 00:00      
            I did            01/01/70 00:00      
               RS-485 master/slave code.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Try Modbus            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Oops sorry,Must using uart with another mode.            01/01/70 00:00

      Full duplex?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Full duplex ...the reasons            01/01/70 00:00      
            That's not a reason!            01/01/70 00:00      
            Technically            01/01/70 00:00      
               another reason            01/01/70 00:00      
                  maybe You need Ethernet?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Another issue...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  wrong? not really, but wasteful            01/01/70 00:00      
                  another reason 2            01/01/70 00:00
