About this manual

The Waveshare RS485 CAN Shield is an expansion board designed for NUCLEO and XNUCLEO development boards. It provides RS485 and CAN communication functions based on Arduino standard interfaces, compatible with UNO, Leonardo, NUCLEO, and XNUCLEO boards.

The hardware features a MAX3485 chip for 3.3V RS485 half-duplex communication and an SN65HVD230 chip for high-speed CAN bus communication. The manual details the pin functions of these chips, jump wire configurations for different UART ports, and provides example C++ programs using the mbed framework for both sending and receiving data via CAN and RS485. This manual is written in Chinese.
