Communicating with modbus rtu slave on Arduino
-
I am trying to test the functionality of this product and how i can use it to pull data from an Arduino. Excuse my questions if they seem very basic as I am not experienced in this area nor in programming.
-
Is the Mango application considered the Modbus Master or do I need a seperate device that is the Master that Mango talks with?
-
For testing between the Mango application and modbus rtu slave running on Arduino does anyone have input as how best to set this up to run a test to make sure my communications are working?
Thank you.

Hi mgvanosd,
- Your Arduino needs to be a modbus slave. You don't need a separate device.
You can use jpmzometa's mobus rtu slave library in your Arduino. I added some code to make it work with Mango. In the meantime this has been included in the library. You can download it from:
