5. Kuweka na Kuweka

Follow these steps to set up your Waveshare USB to RS485 (B) converter:

Ufungaji wa Dereva: For Windows operating systems, a driver may be required to recognize the CH343G chip and create a virtual COM port. Please refer to the official Waveshare product page or the included online user manual for the latest driver downloads and installation instructions. Linux and Mac systems often have built-in support.
Unganisha kwa Mwenyeji: Plug the USB-A connector of the converter directly into an available USB port on your computer or host device. You may use the provided USB-A male to female cable for extended reach if necessary.
Connect to RS485 Device: Use the provided screwdriver to connect your RS485 device's A+, B-, and GND lines to the corresponding screw terminals on the converter. Ensure correct polarity (A+ to A+, B- to B-).
Washa: Once connected, the PWR LED on the converter should light up, indicating that the device is receiving power.

6. Uendeshaji

Once the converter is properly installed and recognized by your operating system, it will appear as a virtual COM port. You can then use any serial communication software (e.g., PuTTY, RealTerm, or custom applications) to interact with your RS485 devices. Configure the software with the correct COM port number, baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits to match your RS485 device's settings.

6.1. Working Status Indicators

The converter features three LED indicators to provide real-time status feedback:

PWR (Nyekundu): Lights up when the converter is connected to a USB port and receiving power.
TXD (Red, Blinking): Blinks when the USB port is sending data to the RS485 device.
RXD (Red, Blinking): Blinks when the RS485 device is sending data back to the USB port.
