@ gebco - By a quick glance through your 1734 words I have realized that you might have some really valid and relevant points. I must say that I dont expect anyone to read your post. If you want ignite some dialogue, you should probably spread your points into relevant short comments and direct messages in the proper topics of the forum. Just saying… :whistle:

Hi njbuch: I read every word of this post. I am in a predicament where I need to get MODBus RTU up and running on the PI under Windows 10 IOT, however, there does not seem to be much support for this (hardware or software). So, bring on as many words as possible, and I will read them to see if I can find some nugget of help.

Thanks,
HH

I never used a RPi or Win 10 core so far, but for MODBUS RTU all you need is a RS485 Transceiver (like the one on the RS485 Gadgeteer Module) connected to a UART on the RPI.
Then you could adopt my MODBUS RTU/TCP Master/Slave library from codeshare to Win 10 core (UWP).
Currently it’s available for NETMF and Windows, so this shouldn’t be too hard.

@ Pete - any updates regarding this announcement you made a year ago? Particularly in regards to completing Gadgeteer open source efforts. Thanks.

Unfortunately, you need two to tango.

We should change the title to "The Future of Gadgeteer WAS Bright "

Sad day indeed !

So when is the massive 90%-off sale of now discontinued/legacy modules?

(not that I can afford any at the moment)
