congratulations for the library, the RS232-RS485 converter that uses allows you to overlook the DE / RE lines.
This wiring diagram that I would use for the tests with the ESP01, correct?
I just have to change in SDM.h
#define SDMSER_RX_PIN 2 // RX-D6 (Wemos) -12 - GPIO2 (ESP01)
#define SDMSER_TX_PIN 0 // TX-D7 (Wemos) -13 - GPIO0 (ESP01)
Thanks for the great job

If You do not use a hardware serial in Your code, then You can also switch to hardware serial on TX/RX pins instead software serial on gpio0/2. It is more stable.
Simply uncomment:
#define USE_HARDWARESERIAL

On software serial I had 1-2 errors per day and the same count of strange esp resets
Now I switch to hardware serial and from 15 days any reading errors or esp resets

I am from Malaysia doing same thing with you and stuck with nodemcu read info from SDM120.

May i have you code? Then i can learn and understand about SDM to nodemcu. Tqv,

- Fri Apr 28, 2017 10:15 pm #65378 Yes... whats wrong with RS485? May Sir @Reaper07 help how to use library with RS485? tqvm and appreciate it if Sir Reaper7 can show the connection and code.

@Reaper07,

hehe sorry my bad. Ok, so I hooked up everything last weekend and it works like a charm with the right converter! Then I discovered that my code was doing the queries too fast, so I had to put in a 500ms delay and with that, it was succesfully gathering the required information. So thank you very much for the SDM220 lib.

I'll update this reply with a link to my blog post as soon as I've finished it. But for this matter, I just had the wrong RS485 converter. ;o)

KR.
Onno.

Hello,

would you mind telling me what was the wrong RS485 converter and what is the correct one ? i am using this one and am not sure where my problem is, i am using a 5v<->3.3v logic converter, assuming the MAX485 is 5v logic..
