For anyone who loves Electronics and have had the opportunity to work in an industrial sector with their skills, you will certainly know just how complicated it can get in a noisy, busy, ESD-filled warehouse, factory or similar type of environment can be. Fortunately, however, despite how electrically noisy these types of environments can get, we have awesome Communications techniques and protocols like the RS485 protocol, which we can utilise for effective communications even amongst noisy machines and electricals, and it utilises a clever twisted 2-wire standard to almost entirely eliminate noise and interference that would typically plague these types of communications in the past.

This USB to RS485 Converter Module is an Industrial Grade converter that allows Makers to connect up to an RS485 Serial Communications network or system via the handy USB Protocol, operating on a simple 2-wire interface and capable of connecting with up to 32 nodes. This allows for more control over the RS485 network and connected systems, so you can directly operate various systems, record data logs, send communications to various stations, or even engage and emergency shutdown if necessary – and this can all be done from a basic laptop or computer, ensuring ultimate control even in some of the most electrically noisy environments that we have here on Earth.

In addition to being a great quality, industrial grade USB to RS485 Converter, this unit also offers a full suite of protection capabilities from a 200mA self-recovery fuse all the way through to 600W lightning protection. Furthermore, it is compatible with Mac, Linux, WinCE and almost all other Windows OS’s from XP onwards, and can operate at up to 1200m distance, which is often more than enough to travel throughout an entire factory or warehouse without problems.

When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.


What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.


We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
