Hi Chris, My plan is to get a piece of equipment setup in my office so that I can begin testing the modbus driver to get a feel for the codebase. Then develop a couple drivers, maybe DNP3 or LonWorks.
Is there a roadmap of drivers that need to be created? C would be nice, as we could then look at the usage in embedded systems, I’m actually in the process of trying to get a few custom drivers ported over to a gateway type solution for work.
