Impressive RS485/CAN Communication for Raspberry Pi

Based on my observations, this product delivers what it promises - reliable and stable long-distance communication.The installation process was straightforward, and I was able to set it up on my Raspberry Pi without any complications. Its ability to support both RS485 and CAN is a great feature for those working with industrial equipment. However, the price point may be a barrier for some people looking for a cheaper alternative. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone seeking a…

Pros
  • Allows for stable long-distance RS485/CAN communication with Raspberry Pi
Cons
  • Requires additional hardware attachment to Raspberry Pi

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
