Sep 7, 2015 at 22:43 comment added Nick Gammon is a 10-polls per second, on a 9600 baud rate, a reasonable choice? - in my current test (see screenshots) I am testing 4 devices repeatedly in 75 ms at 19200 baud, so that is 13 status reports a second. Basically that means one device should react to a status change (eg. a switch closure) from another device in 1/10th of a second. Your initial question mentioned 4 devices, so you should be able to get similar results.

Responded to comments.
Sep 5, 2015 at 8:18 comment added Damiano Verzulli 1st) Thanks VERY MUCH for your answer and RS-485 tutorial. I'll surely use it ; 2nd) as for MEGA and RPIs involvement, I've updated the OP. Please, refer to it for details; 3rd) as for "I can't see any particular reason why you could not interrogate the slaves quite frequently", is a 10-polls per second, on a 9600 baud rate, a reasonable choice? And finally: if I understood correctly, I will not need any poll at all, as with your approach I can implement a "single-master/multiple-slave" context... but with a "moving" master. Is this right?
