Although the SM300D2 sensor supports connections via UART or RS485, this platform only supports UART connections. The LCD module which is often sold with/for these sensor boards can work over either UART or RS485, so you can use the LCD over RS485 and an ESP over UART at the same time (see note below regarding powering everything).

Make sure you have a UART bus in your configuration with the rx_pin connected to the sensor’s TX pin. The sensor does not support receiving data, so the tx_pin does not need to be connected. The UART bus should be set to a baud rate of 9600 to match the sensor’s output. Setting the rx_pin’s mode to INPUT_PULLDOWN may help improve reliability if you’re regularly getting missed or bad/incomplete readings.

Pins on the SM300D2. UART RX is not in use.

Note

The board’s GD pin must be connected to a GND pin on the ESP.

The sensor board requires between 4.8 and 5.2 volts via the 5V pin in either the UART or RS485 socket, as they are connected. If you’re using a USB-powered ESP module with a 5V input pin (i.e. VIN) exposed, you can choose to connect the UART 5V pin to the ESP’s VIN and then power everything through either the LCD module or the ESP module, with a single power cable. If you choose to power the ESP separately from the sensor board, leave the UART 5V pin unconnected.
