RS-485 serial transmission problem with arduino

hey guys I'm using rs-485 module to transmit data serially from one arduino uno to another uno if i connect the the 2 arduino boards directly without using the rs485 module the data is sent and received without a problem but when using the rs485 module the transmission stops here is code Tx code: void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); }

void loop() {

Serial.write(200); Serial.flush(); delay(50);

} Rx code:

include <LiquidCrystal.h>

// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2); void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); }

void loop(){ if (Serial.available()) // If data has come in from Master { int reply= Serial.read(); // Read the byte delay(10);

lcd.print(reply);
}
} I can't sea what is the problem i checked every thing wiring and code is so simple I'm just sending one number 200 and want to display it one the rx please help if any have an idea about this problem thanks any way.

Are your DE and RE control signals correctly configured? They are not used when arduino I/O pins are connected directly, so information about their correctness (or not) is absent from your "good" test results. I am using nomenclature from Maxim (RS-485 chip or module) so there might be different names in your hardware.

The minimum configuration for uni-directional transmission is: DE at logic 1 (enabled) in the Tx; RE at logic 0 (enabled) in the Rx cct. Again, details might be different in your hardware.
