Review on Waveshare RS485 CAN HAT Designed For Raspberry Pi Allowing Stable Long-Distance RS485/CAN Communication by Omar Card

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not compatible with Sense HAT

I've been through a lot of heartache with this board but I finally got it working reliably on the 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
  • Raspberry Pi connectivity Compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W/Zero WH/2B/3B/3B+
Cons
  • No form required
