Thanks for your contribution to emc. I don't have a machine with a VFD, but I know a lot of people do. > ps: I'd appreciate a hint as to how to socially-compatible add this to > the EMC2 tree. Thanks. In the medium term, we're trying to make it possible for all types of components to be built separately from emc2. Right now there are a number of problems that make this not work very well for userspace components. I hope that a number of improvements in this area will be in 2.4, but that's still a ways off. I've prepared a tar that contains your source plus a Makefile and a copy of the modbus source and header from emc. It should work on emc 2.3 (and maybe 2.2) systems with the emc2-dev package installed. http://emergent.unpy.net/files/sandbox/vfs1_vfd.tar.gz you can "make" or "make install" ("sudo make install" on systems where emc is installed as a package) Some of the stuff in that Makefile is far from guessable and that's why I hope to improve this for emc 2.4.
