I'm in the process of hooking up my VFD. It's a HItachi WJ200 and according to the changelog there is a driver in the new version. Where do I find this and how do I implement it? Is it for modbus? Thanks -- Download BIRT

I found some files in the src/hal/usercomp/wj200 folder which include the wj200.comp, .c, .9, and submakefile. What do these do? Am I doing a loaduser on one of them? Are any of them a copy/paste to the hal or ini files? I think I have a general idea but I'm new to all this stuff. Before I give
