Since vfs11_vfd was mentioned, a summary: - it used to live on my own repo here: http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/vfs11-vfd.git - I have added it to master a while ago (it is not in 2.5) - see http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=tree;f=src/hal/user_comps/vfs11_vfd;h=b461634b76c166440bfbbaac2443ca0d31d003f0;hb=a4e9c9adaafd639113de919fcc162540f9aac3ab I cannot tell which version http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?New_File_From_Vfs11 is based upon. However, since switching to libmodbus3 I have added the following: - added Modbus-over-TCP support (client and server) - configuration through inifile - restructured the code to make it easier to use as a base for a new driver I've tried the 'generic modbus component to end all modbus components' idea, and gave up on it after modbus device manual #4 or 5 or so - the differences are so substantial that the gain isnt worth the effort IMO - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
