Modbusino

Introduction

Modbusino is a ISC licensed library to handle Modbus requests on Arduino (slave).

Features

To keep it simple and to reduce memory consumption, only the two following Modbus functions are supported:

  • read holding registers (0x03)

  • write multiple registers (0x10)

Example

#include <Modbusino.h>

/* Initialize the slave with the ID 1 */
ModbusinoSlave modbusino_slave(1);
/* Allocate a mapping of 10 values */
uint16_t tab_reg[10];

void setup() {
    /* The transfer speed is set to 115200 bauds */
    modbusino_slave.setup(115200);
}

void loop() {
    /* Initialize the first register to have a value to read */
    tab_reg[0] = 0x1234;
    /* Launch Modbus slave loop with:
       - pointer to the mapping
       - max values of mapping */
    modbusino_slave.loop(tab_reg, 10);
}

Contribute

I want to keep this library very basic and small so if you want to contribute:

  1. Check for open issues or open a fresh issue to start a discussion around a feature idea or a bug.

  2. Fork the repository on Github to start making your changes on another branch.

  3. Send a pull request (of your small and atomic changes).

  4. Bug the maintainer if he’s too busy to answer :)
