How RS485 Enables Long-Distance Communication in DMX Systems
Want to learn how to implement a DMX master controller? Check out this useful tutorial and make it happen!
The project we are talking about is named Arduino DMX master using RS485 Click board™ and it was created and published by Electronza.
The creator used one of our Click boards™: the RS485 Click 5V– which can be used as an interface between the TTL level UART and the RS422/485 communication bus. It is well suited for transmitting data packets over long distances and noisy areas, using the twisted wire bus, which offers good electromagnetic interferences (EMI) immunity. RS485 Click 5V can be used for controlling various building automation systems, intelligent lighting systems (DMX), Point-of-Sale (POS) networks, and various other devices that need to establish a reliable communication over the RS422/485 bus.
In this project, we’ll use RS485 Click 5V, an industrial-grade RS485 module, to build an Arduino-based DMX master controller. RS485 is widely used in industrial automation and lighting control, thanks to its ability to transmit data over long distances with high noise immunity.
RS485 Click 5V – The Ideal RS485 Module for Arduino Projects
This project also utilizes our Arduino UNO Click shield, a simple shield with two mikroBUS™ host sockets that allow you to connect more than 750 different types of Click boards™ to the Arduino.
