I have a Max485 module that I want to pair up with a raspberry pi. I see online that it is connected to the serial port on the Raspberry Pi. Will this work with Node DMX? I have a working setup of the Max485 on an ESP8266 working great but I had to (exhaustively) write my own interface and have since bought more complex lighting that will require animation so it looks like the Node DMX will make that all very nice and easy so I want to move over to the Pi but have yet to really mess with it. It looks like from this article https://www.industrialshields.com/blog/raspberry-pi-for-industry-26/post/how-to-communicate-raspberry-pi-3-b-with-a-max485-module-137 I should be able to just hook up the tx and rx alone with some control gpio. Just wondering how much work will need to be done to talk to the Max485.
