WebastoWBUSInterface

Hardware circuit and diagram for interfacing to the Webasto WBUS interface from a PC/Arduino

This small circuit allows you to connect a 5 volt device with a serial port to a Webasto Heater which communicates in the WBUS protocol.

The circuit expects you to connect a FT232R USB Serial to TTL interface, or a micro controller such as the Arduino.

Its a http://fritzing.org/home/ circuit/file so you can make a PCB from it if you want (not tested!).

It uses hardly any parts, costs less than £1 (GBP) to make.
