RS-485 + CAN bus + DCDC Converter Shield for WeMos Mini is a small three-in-one board to fit on top of WeMos D1 Mini (ESP32) microcontroller boards:

• RS485 to TTL Serial transceiver with automatic flow control connects directly to RX/TX UART pins on the microcontroller.
• CAN bus Transceiver is suitable for 12V and 24V systems and it connects to ESP32 integrated CAN controller via GPIO pins.
• DC/DC Converter allows powering the board and the microcontroller with 3.3V from ~12V DC source.

This board offers an easy and compact way to connect NMEA-2000 bus and/or one NMEA-0183 (RS-485/RS-422) device to WiFi network on a small boat using NMEA2000-Gateway with ESP32 software getting power from the NMEA-2000 bus or separate ~12V DC source like 12V battery.
