Hi Harold

I had the same behaviour from the code I posted a while ago , sorry I dont know where to start looking .

[ibbba]

Hello,I just finished a working Modbus TCP library that works with standard Arduino Ethernet shield,Sparkfun Thing (Esp8266 based board) and should work with Adafruit CC3000 Wifi shield.
I don't have the Adafruit shield,so if somebody can give it a try and report will be very useful.
The used board must me defined in the supplied header file.

hi ibbba

I tested your library on a olimex esp8266 board , it seems to work fine. With a 200msec poll delay it runs, with a 100msec delay i get reboots .
The olimex board have gpio5 connected to a relay , how can I change this without changing the header file ?

[ibbba]

I personally use to poll not less than one second,so I take your test like a speed test... Ok good.... Regarding The output led that I use to monitor can be ridefined in the header file,or you can delete every call to digitalWrite in The cpp file... Up to you... I hope somebody can test it with The Adafruit shield

Hi ibbba

I notice when I test your library with modbusmaster that stays connected , the code in the main loop never executes until I disconnect the modbusmaster .

Yes this is an issue due to the Wifi library...if you check with the standard ethernet shield you will notice that the loop is excuted normally...to avoid this you have to close the connection after each request...I use a Rasperry PI to poll with minimalmodbus python library and closing the connection after each request do the job.

Hi abba,
I tested your library with my ESP8266 but when I'm compiling the program I get some fails.

hi rody2571

i use windows 7 and installed the library from library manager > add zip library . In File > Preferences : Additional Board Manager URLs: http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json ,do you have the same ? I have no compile errors and it works ,

[ibbba]

hi ibbba

I tested the code using the Ticker library to call functions in the main loop and this works fine while the client stays connected .

Maybe because the Ticker library use the Watchdog timer to tick the calls,so it generates an interrupt that "exits" from the main loop temporally ....good to know

Where did you get the ESP8266WiFi library?

[blue_lightning]

Hi frank_dunn1!
I have got the ESP8266 up and running with the “ModbusTCPSlave.zip” library. But I also need to reconnect the TCP Modbus master simulator (http://en.radzio.dxp.pl/modbus-master-simulator/) to get an updated value.

You used the Ticker library to call functions in the main loop, could you provide me with an example sketch with the ModbusTCPSlave and the Ticker library??

By The Way, the TCP-modbus standard port is 502 but the ModbusTCPSlave library is set to 1502!
