Review on Waveshare 2-Channel Isolated RS485 Expansion HAT For Raspberry Pi SC16IS752+SP3485 Solution With Multi Onboard Protection Circuits by Steve Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not compatible with Sense HAT

I've been through a lot of heartbreak with this board but I finally got it to work reliably on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ model. The Sense HAT incompatibility cost me several hours. This also does not work on the 1 A+ model. In terms of languages, I've had bad results with JavaScript/nodejs, fairly good results with Python3, and best results with C (WiringPi library). Depending on the device you're talking to, speed seems to be an issue.

Pros
  • Includes development resources and manual (examples in C and Python)
Cons
  • -
