Connection Guide
TTL side wiring:
- VCC: 3.3V or 5V power
- GND: Ground
- TX: Connect to MCU TX
- RX: Connect to MCU RX
RS485 side wiring:
- A: Positive differential line
- B: Negative differential line
- GND: Shield/ground (optional)
Connect TX to RX and RX to TX
Use 120Ω termination for long lines
Do not connect RS485 lines reversed
Use shielded cable in noisy environments
