Hi Turan,
and also welcome ... great to have you here :-)
There are generally a lot of ways you can contribute:
- Start using PLC4X drivers and report/fix issues you encounter
- Add features to drivers or improve existing drivers if we did things in a
less-ideal way
- Implement new drivers If you have some hardware you would like to talk to but
we haven't got any drivers for yet
- Bring PLC4X to new languages (I'm currently working on porting to C ...
others were thinking of reinitiating the Python efforts)
Implementing drivers and porting to new languages definitely sounds like more
work than it is, but we have created tooling for code-generation that takes
care of most of the annoying parts of this.
If you want to get started with any particular thing, please tell us about it
and we'll do our best to get you setup :-)

Hi Ryan,
A warm welcome to PLC4X project.
There are several ways to contribute to PLC4X project.
If you are a developer checkout here:
https://plc4x.apache.org/developers/contributing.html
If you are a user then you may start here:
https://plc4x.apache.org/users/plc4j/gettingstarted.html and start
accessing you PLCs.
-> If you get errors please add Wireshark dumps to you issue and hand it in
here -> https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PLC4X/issues/
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PLC4X/issues/PLC4X-132?filter=allopenissues>
-> A good way to contribute is to improve the documentation for users e.g.
writing and helping to improve getting started etc.
-> We also have a Hands on Webinar here: https://youtu.be/MIp_0OcDTr4
So start testing and come back to mailing list (open issues, improve
documentation) and enjoy yourself and good Toddy coffee :D.
Again welcome to the PLX4X project.
Kind regards
Lukas
