Good afternoon my friends i need your advises. i have a rs485 sensor node v1.0 connected with my arduino uno and my sensor shtx1 but doesn´t work because i dont know how to connect my arduino to my rs485 sensor.

2013-11-27 10:46:02 What about RS485 shield?

alternatively for testing you can use a USB to RS485 as well:

The expansion shield as in the diagram is no longer available, The version V7 was released and the RS485 support for this board is discontinued, so best to try with the shield or the USB to RS485.

What are you trying to do with the sensor node?

2013-11-26 10:52:51 Hello FernandoHT,
As the RX and TX is serial communication interface. It doesn't support rs485 communication procotol.
So you need an IO expansion shield with RS485 like the picture
