Hi Thomas, that's great news ... that you're still around and still interested in plc4x :-)
Right now I'm implementing a driver that talks to a plc4x server and is able to forward request to that. This way you could possibly use an ADS driver, even if that it not yet available. However the thing I actually need, is to implement a Server for that in C too ... so you could forward requests to plc4c running on some super low-power devices. In the end my final goal would be to have plc4c running in a mynewt application, which is running on some super-low-power STM32 devices. One of my development boards has a LoRaWan interface, so in the end I'd love to send requests to the device and have the responses sent back via LoRaWan to devides out in the field. As an example it's the job of one of my neighbors to repeatedly drive to a water-dam nearby and go to the machine-house and collect a number of values. I'd love to automate that for him, as he told me, it's super annoying for him. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Thomas <[email protected]> Sent: Samstag, 12.

Hi Chris, As this reply may indicate... yeh I'm still around :) I switched job few months back so no longer using Siemens PLC daily. However still keep interest in PLC4x and automation so happy to have a call to run though some of the things I did, and things I noticed with PLC4c. As for helping, time is the main barrier so I don't want to say I'll help and then not. However I am VERY interested in how/what is involved in MyNewt integration and all things "real time", so yeh I'll do what I can to help with that. New job involves a fair bit of STM32 dev so no need to send me one, already got more than I care to admit! What are you planning with them?
