hyperterminal for rs 485

[vikassubramani]

Hi i am using MC9S08DN16 controller and i have written a code for serial communication RS 485. I checked the code in debug mode and it works fine, I was just thinking if i could use any hyper terminal where i can type the data in the hyper terminal and i can receive it in the program i have written. please help me even if there is any other method i can veryfy the code i have written.

I am using a windows 7 operating system.

Thanks,

Vikas,

I don't know if you are still having issue with this problem or not. Since, Windows machine doesn't have the hardware to support straight RS485 communication. You need something along the line of either an RS-232 tor RS485 or USB to RS485. Also depends on whether it's a Full Duplex RS485 or Half Duplex RS485.
