ModbusMaster: A C++ repository from syvic

##Overview## This is an Arduino class library for communicating with Modbus slaves over RS232/485 (via RTU protocol). Updated to support Arduino 1.0.

##Features## The following Modbus functions have been implemented:

Discrete Coils/Flags

0x01 - Read Coils
0x02 - Read Discrete Inputs
0x05 - Write Single Coil
0x0F - Write Multiple Coils

Registers

0x03 - Read Holding Registers
0x04 - Read Input Registers
0x06 - Write Single Register
0x10 - Write Multiple Registers
0x16 - Mask Write Register
0x17 - Read Write Multiple Registers

##Uploading Sketches## Arduinos prior to the Mega have one serial port which must be connected to USB (FTDI) for uploading sketches and to the RS232/485 device/network for running sketches. You will need to disconnect pin 0 (RX) while uploading sketches. After a successful upload, you can reconnect pin 0.

##Hardware## This library has been tested with an Arduino Duemilanove, PHOENIX CONTACT nanoLine controller, connected via RS485 using a Maxim MAX488EPA transceiver.

##Installation##

Arduino 17 (or later):

Determine the location of your sketchbook by selecting File > Preferences from within the Arduino IDE. If you don't already have a libraries folder within your sketchbook, create one and unzip the archive there. See this for more information.
Arduino 16 (or earlier):

Download the zip file, extract and copy the ModbusMaster folder to ARDUINO_HOME/hardware/libraries. If you are upgrading from a previous version, be sure to delete ModbusMaster.o.

##Support## Please report any bugs on the Issue Tracker.

##Questions/Feedback## I can be contacted at dfwmountaineers at gmail.
