sawyer1206 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I ordered 2 controllers last week and forgot to order the USB To RS485 Adapter. Are the LOR adapters the same as the ones I can get from my local Electronic Parts Outlet?

Peter B Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hi agree with Mountainwxman,Extract taken from LORWiki:I lost my RS485 converter that I got from LOR. Can I just go buy one of those $3.00 kits from the electronics store?Nope. The SC485 is NOT a DB9-RJ54 serial adaptor! It has a circuit board in it that converts the PC's RS232 electrical interface into a RS485 electrical interface. This is why they cost more than the $3.00.Pete.
sawyer1206 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks for the info, I am getting the Serial port adapter and I don't have one on my machine. I will have to wait a little longer before I can play:{:{
