RevPi Connect Dead Ports

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing some issues with my RevPi Connect. I plugged in a USB hub which seemed to cause a short-circuit. I immediately disconnected everything. I turned it back on and the status lights (PWR,WD, and REL) all go green, but all the ports are dead. Would the status lights still co...

Re: Modbus RTU Master "Modbus_Master_Status"

Thanks Dirk for confirming that I'm on the right track. But the strange issue still persists. The Modbus_Master_Status and Modbus_Action_Status only change when I perform a full driver reset (piTest -x). For example, If I check the Modbus_Master_Status it will show 0, but when I unplug the Arduino i...

Modbus RTU Master "Modbus_Master_Status"

Hi everyone, I seem to be having quite a strange problem. From reading the documentation about the Modbus RTU Master, it seems to me that the "Modbus_Master_Status" variable should change based on if an error occurs (eg, if a slave device is disconnected). What I'm trying to do is use the ...

Modbus RTU Master "device_path"

Hi Sven, Is the "variable" in the Virtual ModbusRTU Master called "device path" (where the tty* address of the connected device is written as a string) accessible through .io.[variable name].value? I'm attempting to write a script which updates these values in PiCtory based on wh...

Re: Use EtherCAT DWORDS instead of Bytes

Hi Dirk,

I'll try that. I assume that means changes to the PDO mapping on my PLC side? I'll have a go at it and see if I can get it to work. Thank you!

Use EtherCAT DWORDS instead of Bytes

Good Morning, I managed to get my EtherCAT gateway up and running with my PLC, but the issue I seem to be having is that I can't change the TX/RX on Pictory to use DWORDS instead of Bytes. I'm clearly missing something simple but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be very appreciated. Tha...

revpi-duino driver

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to connect an arduino leonardo to my RevPi Connect via USB. I read on one of the blog posts that there is a "revpi-duino driver" which should let me access the arduino through Pictory. Is there any documentation on how to do this? https://revolution.kunbus...

Re: import revpimodio2 error

Hi Sven,

I managed to get it to work by disabling the Autorefresh, although I know this is bad practice. I have another question regarding EtherCAT but I'll open that as a separate post. Thanks again for the help and all the work you've done with the RevPiModIO!

Re: import revpimodio2 error

Hi Sven, Thank you for your help! I had neglected to change the Execute build command in Geany from Python to Python 3. It is now working! I have one more issue though. I seem to be getting a runtime error that looks like this: ru/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/revpimodio2/helper.py:539: RuntimeWarni...
