Title: RS232 to RS485 converter Post by: Ljmnunes on February 04, 2021, 04:18:50 16:18 Hello, everybody!
This was my best friend for many years. This week I decided to make an upgrade and make a new pcb now in SMT. To use it with speed other than 9600 bps you need to recalculate the 555 time constant. It was redraw in Kicad. Enjoy! Title: Re: RS232 to RS485 Post by: metal on February 04, 2021, 07:42:09 19:42 seems you forgot to put edge cuts :)

I've used PCAD for years. Today I'm retired and playing sometimes with Kicad. I'm sure I'll do more mistakes with him. :P Title: Re: RS232 to RS485 Post by: metal on February 04, 2021, 11:22:11 23:22 yea, PCAD is another world.

Enjoy! kindly also share pdf converted for schematic and PCB thanks Title: Re: RS232 to RS485 Post by: Ljmnunes on February 05, 2021, 08:57:17 20:57 kindly also share pdf converted for schematic and PCB thanks No problems!

Hi, this is a great idea. In fact, i have already made one using Max491. Although i plan to upgrade the design using a number of other controller including some from Maxlinear SP338 and Analog Device ADM3068. The best part is that it has a baud rate of greater than 5 MBPS for transferring large data files. - techNeo Title: Re: RS232 to RS485 Post by: Ljmnunes on February 08, 2021, 11:56:12 11:56 Hi, this is a great idea.

I remember that I did make this project urgentely and coud't wait for new components. So I take a look arround and found theses three components. So, I did the first version of this project in dead bug style... I used it for a couple days. Soon I did make a little PCB and put the jumpers because I had some troubles with correct DB9 connection and RS485 biasing. I've used it in bare pcb for years intill I be retired. |
