Besides classicladder you could base a custom component on src/hal/user_comps/vfs11_vfd

-m

Dave,

i just wrote a generic modbus to hal component. I have posted it as a feature request in sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid..._id=6744&atid=356744
May be you want to test it. You do not need to write C code, only configure a text INI file.
Of course, first you have to install it and compile the source code using GIT.
I have read the pdf manual and i think is posible to configure it for the iDrive.

Victor.

Hi Victor,

I applied your patch and it is running through the buildbot now


the debs should show up under here:

buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/scratch-* with the branch name in the deb filename

poke around here what the buildbot is doing: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/buildbot/changes/8635

well done!
