Works as described!

For RS485 Isolator

Bought a couple of these as DMX transceivers, and they work very nicely! Highly recommended! Just some feedback if a new revision is being considered: It would be nice to be able to control the receiver rather than having it continuously available through tying /RE line to ground by design. Perhaps add a couple of solder pads so that the user can decide to either tie /RE to ground or tie /RE to DE (making it always one or the other), or bring the control to a separate terminal on P1. In addition, it would be useful to bring out the Y and Z pins to P2 separately too, with perhaps solder pads to put them in parallel with A and B should the user want that. Just some thoughts on an otherwise excellent product!

Ah yes - some good ideas there. Perhaps I'll bring them out on solder pads rather than through-holes, in order to keep the same footprint. By default wired up through to where they go now, but if people want to do something else with them, just break a jumper and solder something else to the pad.
