Looks like a very good reason not to use a timeout to detect end of packet! However if this is unavoidable then the specification can still be met:

Set the timeout to 1.05mS
When a timout is...

There is a typo in the draft, on page 94 the text DISCOVERY_INCREMENTAL is rendered in the Windings font and shows as symbols. Somewhat appropriately, the final one is a sad face :)

The exact amount of time will be dependent on the design of the UART, but should be fairly consistent. If using a typical 16x baud rate clock the variability would be +/- 0.125uS which is totally...

I stand ( well, sit actually... ) corrected!

I don't have a copy of the RDM spec to hand, I was intending to check that figure this evening. This means that the UART will need to be run at 50kbps...

The easiest way is not to bother!

Tie the RS485 driver chip's Driver Enable signal to the Not Receive Enable and the UART will never see the transmit data in the first place.

For receiving, a framing error with data of 00H can be assumed to be a break.

For transmitting, then assuming that the UART doesn't support sending of breaks then either of the following should...

Having used several different manufacturer's offerings ( but not for DMX ), I am pretty sure that you are still correct. These all needed custom drivers, which caused no end of problems, so I now use...

A capacitor after the diode will sort out the impedance issue, it doesn't need to be particularly large as the impedance is only relevant for higher frequencies - 100nF would probably be enough. Add...

Th equations are:

Vbias = Vcc * 1 / ( 1 / Rt1 + 1 / Rt2 ) / ( 1 / ( 1 / Rt1 + 1 / Rt2 ) + R1 + R2 )

Rterm = 1 / ( 1 / Rt1 + 1 / ( R1 + R2 ) )

The specification requires Vbias to be...

Change Rt1 to 150R and R1, R2 to 390R.

This gives almost exactly the same bias voltage, and is reasonably close to the 120R impedance requirement ( 126R ). Using difficult to obtain ( in small...

As Scott has already mentioned in a separate thread, sub-devices where intended for dimmers, where each sub-device is identical ( or at least very similar, eg. non-dim or 2.5K/5K channels ). Where...

You are forgetting two things:

The SN75176 is a very old device, and more modern transceivers usually guarantee that a 0V input will give a high output. The MAX485 datasheet says: "The receiver...

Question Error counters
