This question is in relation to SN65HVD72: 5 Meter Communication design - Interface forum - Interface - TI E2E support forums
I would like to know if both sides of the communication need the 120 ohm and pull-up resistors, or if it's just one side.
I would also like to know if there are any disadvantages to enabling the receiver when transmitting a message. I presume we would get a copy of the message we transmit. My configuration is for my main PCB to transmit a message to the secondary PCB and wait for its instant reply.
