I have a Chinese rf module and I'm trying to communicate with arduino. Here's the module.. It's 868MHz RS485 module and I connect one transceiver to arduino: RX->TX TX->RX VCC->5V GND->GND
and the other one to PC with SU108-485, a USB bridge that come's with the module.
I can send text from my PC to my arduino (using putty) but when I try to send back using nothing happens.
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
Serial1.print("Hello World");
}
if I connect this arduino to another arduino I can see it's clearly transmitting.
So the problem is that I can read from the module but not transmit.
Does it matter the module is RS485 not RS232? Is the RX/TX voltage different? Would the code be any different for a RS485 than RS232 module?
