# UART RS485 Echo Example
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
This is an example which echoes any data it receives on UART port back to the sender in the RS485 network.
|
|
It uses ESP-IDF UART software driver in RS485 half duplex transmission mode and requires external connection of bus drivers.
|
|
The approach demonstrated in this example can be used in user application to transmit/receive data in RS485 networks.
|
|
|
|
## How to use example
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Required
|
|
PC + USB Serial adapter connected to USB port + RS485 line drivers + Espressif development board.
|
|
The MAX485 line driver is used for example below but other similar chips can be used as well.
|
|
|

|
|
#### Connect an external RS485 serial interface to an ESP32 board
|
|
Connect a USB-to-RS485 adapter to a computer, then connect the adapter's A/B output lines with the corresponding A/B output lines of the RS485 line driver connected to the ESP32 chip (see figure above).
|
|
```

```
|
|
Note: Each target chip has different GPIO pins available for UART connection. Please refer to UART documentation for selected target for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Configure the project
|
|
```
|
|
idf.py menuconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build and Flash
|
|
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
|
|
```
|
|
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
|
|
|
|
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
|
|
|
|
#### Setup external terminal software
|
|
Refer to the example and set up a serial terminal program to the same settings as of UART in ESP32-WROVER-KIT board.
|
|
Open the external serial interface in the terminal. By default if no any symbols are received, the application sends character `.` to check transmission side.
|
|
When typing message and push send button in the terminal you should see the message `RS485 Received: [ your message ]`, where "your message" is the message you sent from terminal.
|
|
Verify if echo indeed comes from your board by disconnecting either `TxD` or `RxD` pin. Once done there should be no any `.` displayed.
|
|
|
|
## Example Output
|
|
Example output of the application:
|
|
```
|
|
I (655020) RS485_ECHO_APP: Received 12 bytes:
|
|
[ 0x79 0x6F 0x75 0x72 0x20 0x6D 0x65 0x73 0x73 0x61 0x67 0x65 ]
|
|
```
|
|
The received message is showed in hexadecimal form in the brackets.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
When example software does not show the `.` symbol, the issue is most likely related to connection errors of the external RS485 interface.
|
|
Check the RS485 interface connection with the environment according to schematic above and restart the application.
|
|
Then start terminal software and open the appropriate serial port.
