Raspberry Pi Sense/Net Bridge ============================= -Need 5V level conversion on Raspi I/O pins -Use multiplexer/demultiplexer to select one of three RS-485 transceivers -The receive output of the transceiver seems to be tri-state. Component Selections -------------------- -Demultiplexer: NXP 74HCT238PW,112 -Multiplexer: NXP 74HCT151PW,112 -Level shitfer mosfet: Diodes DMN63D8LDW-7 Rev. 1 Issues ------------- -No PTCs on I/O lines -Should draw power from external source, to avoid overloading the 5V rail -MCP23009 is open drain; replace with MCP23008 -R/W not connected to gnd -Need pull up on E line Rev. 3 Additions ---------------- -Get rid of 6 wire. Instead, automatically select RS-485 or 1-wire for each bus. -Use analog switch (per channel) for 1-wire data line -Use mosfet (per channel) for extra ground.
