Communicate with LIN device via RS232

Hi,

We have a project to communicate with a card containing the LIN bus. I seek a solution to communicate directly with the card via the RS232 port. I think use an rs232 adapter and a rs232-LIN transceiver directly to the card. The links below containinformation of material:

I want to know if anyone has used this solution before. Do you think this is feasible.Thus, the problem is that Labwindows allows easy implementation of code ofcommunication with the card (functions, examples ...).

Thank you for your opinion about this solution.

Hello,

 

    I have not used this solution.  Going through the available toolkits you will be able to connect with this board,  as long as the protocol stays RS232 compliant.

Hello,
Sorry for the delay. Can you describe me your solution. I thought of another alternative. Can I communicate directly using the rs232 port, a LIN  transceiver and a power adapter (rs232 to TTL). Can you tell me what library I should use because I do not know really what is the principle.

Many thanks

Hello Fishingman,

      As long as you follow the correct handshaking protocol and wire the board correctly as required in RS232 specifications the system should work.
