The BlueRobotics BLUART USB to Serial and RS485 Adapter is a tiny circuit board capable of interfacing via USB with devices that use serial UART or RS485 communications.

UARTs (more commonly known as serial ports) are used on a wide range of devices such as Arduino microcontrollers, subsea sensors, and our Ping Sonar. A UART uses separate transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signal lines, which allows full-duplex communication.

The RS485 is a variation of serial communication intended for communication over long cable lengths. It uses a differential signal on a twisted pair of wires, which protects the signal integrity over hundreds of meters of cable length.
