Arduino, RS485, mixed powers and multiple devices

This is part of the TechEd Section. As mentioned previously  you need to be very careful when using multiple sources of power that are coupled by a common rail – nasty things can happen which will ruin your day (as well let all the critical magic smoke out). Luckily for me my power supplies are able Read more about Arduino, RS485, mixed powers and multiple devices[…]

Arduino Uno clone RS485 network

At home I have a need to measure temperature and control various circuits in response to those temperature changes and other inputs. The sensor network needed to span at least 100m and ideally should have the ability to reach out to 200m (so I could get down to the Chicken Coop and pool). Looking around Read more about Arduino Uno clone RS485 network[…]
