ThomasKl Posted April 7, 2012 at 08:10 PM Posted April 7, 2012 at 08:10 PM Hi, will it be possible to use the rs485 extension to "speak" to regular RS485 or even RS232 connections. I think this would be a very nice feature, since there a alot of devices that can be controlled via RS232/RS485. Quote
borg Posted April 8, 2012 at 11:45 AM Posted April 8, 2012 at 11:45 AM Unfortunately there is no single protocol that is spoken over RS485 or RS232. So there is no way to use a network out of Brick stacks together with other RS485 devices. It would be possible to write a special RS485 mode that makes it possible to speak to other RS485 devices, but i have no idea if thats worth the effort. Quote

Thats what i meant, i still think that having a serial port within the TF setup would be very handy. There are lots of higher level instruments that can be controlled via RS232/RS485. Quote
