- There are many other companies that sell this exact same RS485 adapter board (such as [SMAKN](https://www.amazon.com/SMAKN®-Adapter-Serial-Converter-Module/dp/B010723BCE/#product)), so pick any of them that look like this one:
- NOTE: It is hard to find documenation on this board, but we know from experience that it can handle signal logic level shifting from anything between 5-12V down to the 3.3V digital signal required by the Mayfly. This is the RS485 adapter board that YosemiTech shipped inside a converter box enclosure along with a 12V power adaptor for their sensors, which is why we started using it with sensors that require higher voltages to power them.

- NOTE: If your sensor only needs 5V of power, you can skip buying a regulator and just solder a jumper closed on the Wing PCB to power the sensor from the 5V Mayfly power line.
