  "textContent": "Waveshare’s “Isolated RS232 / RS485 / CAN / CAN FD Expansion Board For Raspberry Pi” kit transforms your Raspberry Pi 4B or 5 into an industrial computer with a DIN rail or wall mount enclosure. The solution also provides access to isolated interfaces, including two RS485, RS232, CAN FD, and CAN Bus interfaces, as well as 7-36V DC input through screw terminals. The complete solution also benefits from the Raspberry Pi’s Gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports, and full-size HDMI port (via adapter), as well as support for Raspberry Pi HAT and PCIe expansion boards for NVMe SSD, an additional GbE port, 4G LTE/5G cellular, etc… Specifications: Compatible SBCs – Raspberry Pi 4B and Raspberry Pi 5 Host interface – SPI + UART Isolated industrial interfaces via screw terminals 1x CAN FD with 5kbps ~ 8 Mbps baudrate via MCP2518FD + MCP2562FD chips 1x CAN Bus with 5kbps ~ 1 Mbps [...]\n\nThe post $60 kit transforms the Raspberry Pi 4/5 into a DIN Rail industrial computer with isolated RS232, RS485, and CAN Bus appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.",
