I use atmega16 and its UART for communication with other device....
Now, I have one sensor which has output configuration as below:
Digital Output : Serial (9600 baud UART)
Electrical Interface: RS485 / RS232
Protocols Supported : Modbus
Start, Stop bits: 1,1

My question is if I configure UART of atmega16 to same specification as above, can I communicate with same function like I mean same register for uart to check there is byte and read it?

I am little confused!!

Your answer lies in the above statement. Do you know what it is? If not start Googling.

Does you M16 board have RS485?

Ya, I have googled about the Modbus protocol, but my question intended to those who might have tried or implemented the modbus protocol on avr controller... :wink:
No, my board doesn't have rs485..

So that's the first thing you need to do. Then do a search here for Modbus as it has been implemented on AVRs and the question comes up regularly. 291 matches come up.
