NModbus on Mono

[Arwen]

Someone has already tried to run NModbus on Mono ?
Do you think that a port is possible?

Thanks to all ;-)

[Arwen]

Excuse me but I have only seen now the Victor's post So "NModbus works
with Mono".

http://groups.google.com/group/NModbus-discuss/browse_thread/thread/17c3bad8bc149c82/9b7a8aa7381e576d?lnk=gst&q=mono#9b7a8aa7381e576d

Now I can start playing with mono.
I want to develop with on a Ubuntu 8.04 so which version of mono I
should install?
I can develop using the latest version of NModbus?

Thanks

[Arwen]

IHELP !

I don't know if it is correct but for install NMODBUS on mono will be
sufficient use the shell command below ??

shell:

gacutil FTD2XX.dll
gacutil FtdAdapter.dll
gacutil log4net.dll
gacutil Modbus.dll

Thanks

hello arwen

i think you should try the latest mono release (1.9) as it should be
more stable and complete. There is a binary installer for any linux
distribution in mono's site. I have used NModbus with mono 1.2.6, and
it worked. In fact I used an older version of NMODBUS which was C# 2.0
(now it is C# 3.0).

I think even the latest version should now run in mono, but in case
you have problems, try downloading an older release... or report your
adventures here to the list :-)

by the way, the nmodbus i used here didn't use the FTD drivers. and
there was no need to "gacutil" the log4net and modbus, in fact i just
place them in the same application directory.

wish you success :-)

I made some tests and I had no need to use gacutil but I simply
copied the DLL version 1.6 of NModbus in a folder of the
project , then I added the reference in my project and
I can compile all without errors .
I tried to create a C# project for both console that GTK
and both seem to work
(I have not yet had time to test whether applications actually
communicate but do not give strange errors).

I'm using UBUNTU 8.04 and I installed MONO from official
Ubuntu repos so I have :

Mono Develop 1.0
Mono JIT compiler 1.2.6 (mono-V)

Now I'll try to establish a serial communication with a
process instruments that usually I use .

Thank you
I will tell you the result, hopefully positive.

PS.
I did the tests compiling the TESTDRIVER.cs source for the console
version .
For GTK version I used the same source, of course modified to work
with an event button.

First step OK !!

I can open the serial port but on Linux must do this :

using ( SerialPort port = new SerialPort("/dev/ttyS0")) // for COM1
and ttyS1 for COM2
{
...................
...................

and now I try to contact my slave ;-))

HEUREKA !!!!!!!! it works fine

I can communicate without any problem with an ASCON J1 type indicator
of temperature
www.ascon.it .
This library is a spectacle.

This is my simple code and for the moment THANKS TO ALL .
