Ok...I seems to got it working after configuring the GPIO pin for RTS. 
However, when I tried to communicate with modbus device, it gives me an 
"Checksum error in rtu mode". I am using minimal modbus library, and my 
code works fine when communicating between windows and my device.

I have tested my connection with the scope and it seems to get getting the 
correct output

When testing it with the minimal modbus library, the slave ID, function 
code and payload data is correct. It just seems to have problem getting 
pass the error check.

I have configured my baud rate and parity check correctly, but I can't 
seems to figure out why it's giving me this checksum error. Anyone have any 
ideas where the problem is?
