Re-designing and re-implementing the code for the RS-485 bus protocol …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓
In the previous video we’ve wrote some code to identify the beep codes of the motor drive to determin its status (link below). Now that we have two statuses (intrusion and driver), we take the opportunity to rethink the RS-485 protocol.
First we unify our two transmission unions into a single one and add methods to it. Then we create a base RS485 class with some basic functionality. From that we derive a RS485 master class, a RS485 slave class and finally a RS485 motor class.
00:00 Intro – we’ll add the driver state to the protocol
00:52 Three points – cold, first version and unions
01:50 Union Transmission – one union for all messages
06:15 Class RS485 – encapsulating everything
12:32 Class RS485Master – enormously simplyfied
15:32 Class RS485Slave – base class for all slaves
17:31 Class RS485Motor – also enormously simplified
21:49 Test – anticlimactic, it just works
23:27 Wrap-up – I have no idea what I’ll do next, bye
