<meta charset="utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">I have a large Tri-colour LED display. It's two modules, daisy chained together using two wires, These wires then used to go into a Lantronix device that worked as a RS485 to RJ45 converter box.<div>
The machine is 2m long by about 60cm. 8 lines by 48 chars. Each char is 7x5 tri colour leds.</div><div>I'm ordered a USB to RS485 adapter which should arrive in the next few days.</div><div>Getting a message to be shown on the device is the first stage. I have a Windows application that should be able to talk to it, but I've never got it to work.</div>
<div>When I turn on the device the LED's show the baud rate and offset of the displays, so I know they are still functional.</div><div>Thanks for any help.</div><div>MikeW</div></span><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 10:52 PM, Sean Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sean@seanmiller.net">sean@seanmiller.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

necessary depending on whether the device needs hardware flow control.<br>
