Re: Contributions with Access to PLC's
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

I'm going to get my PLC set up this afternoon, then I will start playing with the sandbox.
