RS-485 Transceiver Breakout

The RS-485 Transceiver Breakout adds reliable long-distance serial communication to your projects, making it ideal for industrial automation, building control systems, and other noise-resistant RS-485 networks.

This module allows you to connect a microcontroller to a RS-485 communication protocol. The RS-485 is used to send data over long distances (up to 1200m) at 20Mbps and in high-noise environments, such as industrial.

The module works on 5V and requires between 120μA and 500μA of current.
