    Hi there all, great to be part of such a great forum! Hopefully someone can give me an answer.
    The RS485 device, I know it can be connected to 2 actuators easily, however, has anyone have a digram on how to connect it to 2 dc motors, like the famous wiper motors? I can see that it provides a simple on/off-direction signal, so I assume that motors would simply switch one way or the other. Is there a way to smooth out this action on the motors?
    Hopefully i am making sense.
    Kindest Regards, David.

    What RS485 device are we talking about?

    There has to be a controller between an actuator and the RS485 bus.
