RS-485 Breakout Board for XIAO Converts UART to RS-485 Signals -Seeed Studio
RS-485 Breakout Board for XIAO Converts UART to RS-485 Signals -Seeed Studio The Seeed Studio RS-485 Breakout Board is a compact and efficient solution designed to extend the functionality of Seeed Studio XIAO development boards by converting UART serial streams into robust RS-485 signals. Featuring the high-performance TP8485E half-duplex transceiver IC, this breakout board enables reliable data transmission over long distances—up to 1200 meters—even in high-noise industrial environments. It operates using a simple 5V or 12V DC power supply and provides convenient RS-485 output through 3-pin terminals for both signal and power connections. This versatile breakout board is the perfect choice for developers seeking reliable, long-distance serial communication in demanding applications. Features: Seamless compatibility with Seeed Studio XIAO: Seeed Studio XIAO development boards are designed to work together smoothly. Long-Distance Transmission: Capable of communicating across lengths of up to 1200 meters (about 3973 feet). Supports Wide Voltage Input: Compatible with both 5V and 12V power supplies. Two Terminal Connection: two 3-pin terminals for signal wire and power Compact Design: The breakout board has a compact form factor (the size of two XIAO boards), making it suited for space-conscious projects. Hardware Overview: Applications: Industrial Automation Remote Monitoring Systems Data Acquisition Systems Other Embedded Systems Requiring Serial Communication
