Running uBACstac device on Arduino Mega with an RS485 Module
Check out our latest video about uBACstac. In this video we ran a complete B-AAC device made with Cimetrics uBACstac - BACnet Protocol stack for small devices on Arduino Mega 2560 with RS485 Shield Module.
When you buy uBACstac you will get the source code and can easily make BACnet device of your dream.
We used uBACstac Software Development Kit which consists of a source code library and documentation for BACnet device development, especially for embedded devices (firmware development).
It supports the following BIBBS: DS-RP-B, DS-RPM-B, DS-WP-B, DS-WPM-B, DM-DDB-B, DM-DOB-A,B, DM-DCC-B, AE-N-I-B, AE-ACK-B, AE-INFO-B, SCHED-I-B, DM-TS-B, DM-UTC-B, DM-RD-B.
This device has 13 objects - Device, Analog Input/Output/Value, Binary Input/Output/Value, MultiState Input/Output/Value, Notification Class, Calendar, Schedule.
uBACstac library supports the following BACnet profiles: BSS, BSA, B-ASC, B-AAC. Our example supports B-AAC profile.
This is an MS/TP master device.
We used free Cimetrics BACnet Explorer to discover the device.
We used BACnet IP to MSTP router B6000 to route from Arduino to BACnet IP.
We used Cimetrics BASomatic protocol analyzer to sniff the traffic.
We used Arduino IDE software to upload it to the board.
We used GNU toolchain for coding: WinAVR for Windows and gcc-avr for Ubuntu Linux.

A look at the BACnet User Group in New England
- share experience, learn from each other.
The purpose of the BACnet User Group, whose website is http://www.bacnetusergroupne.com, is to bring together the local BACnet user community on a quarterly basis to share tips and techniques, pains and joys, regarding the use of BACnet products and technologies. The user group features BACnet experts from Cimetrics, Siemens, Schneider Electric and many more.
