Hi Ryan,
I will be happy to help you in getting started with the protocols you are
planning on working on.
Just tell me if you need any help.
Also I would be very happy for feedback on the sandbox/plc4c part, which I'm
currently working on hard.

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.
Regards,
Ryan Truran
