# UART RS485 Echo Example
|
|
|
|
This is an example which echoes any data it receives on UART2 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.
|
|
|
|
## Hardware required :
|
|
PC + USB Serial adapter connected to USB port + RS485 line drivers + ESP32 WROVER-KIT board.
|
|
The MAX485 line driver is used for example below but other similar chips can be used as well.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## How to setup and use an example:
|
|
|
|
### Connect an external RS485 serial interface to an ESP32 board.
|
|
```
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
| ESP32 Interface | #define | ESP32 Pin | External RS485 |
|
|
| ----------------------|---------------|-----------| Driver Pin |
|
|
| Transmit Data (TxD) | ECHO_TEST_TXD | GPIO23 | DI |
|
|
| Receive Data (RxD) | ECHO_TEST_RXD | GPIO22 | RO |
|
|
| Request To Send (RTS) | ECHO_TEST_RTS | GPIO18 | ~RE/DE |
|
|
| Ground | n/a | GND | GND |
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
```
|
|
Connect USB to RS485 adapter to computer and connect its D+, D- output lines with the D+, D- lines of RS485 line driver connected to ESP32 (See picture above).
|
|
|
|
### Configure the application
|
|
```
|
|
make menuconfig
|
|
```
|
|
* Set serial port under Serial Flasher Options to the serial port of ESP32 WROVER-KIT board.
|
|
|
|
### Build and flash software
|
|
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
|
|
```
|
|
make -j4 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 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 ESP32 by disconnecting either 'TxD' or 'RxD' pin. There should be no any "." once TxD pin is disconnected.
|
|
|
|
## 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 HEX form in the brackets.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
Most of the issues when example software does not show the '.' symbol related to connection errors of 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 appropriate serial port.
