Updating Server Example / writing variables in registers

[Alexander Asen]

Hello,

i need help using the updating server example because I don't know how to continue.

I tried to find the information in the web and other discussions, but I didn't.

Scope of work:

I get a value via MQTT (using paho mqtt) and write this value every second in a register

Example FC: 03
Value via MQTT: 10000

target register: 40001 

So far so good.

Is it correct, that the section def run_updating_server(): just initializes the registers and after first initialization the def updating_writer(a): is doing the update job ?

def updating_writer(a): """ A worker process that runs every so often and updates live values of the context. It should be noted that there is a race condition for the update. :param arguments: The input arguments to the call """ log.debug("updating the context") context = a[0] ==> Don't know what this does register = 3 ==> FC 03 slave_id = 0x01 ==> ID of slave to find within the network (Here: 1) address = 0x9C41 ==> register adress (Here: 40001) values = context[slave_id].getValues(register, address, count=5) => shouldn't here the new value be ? values = [v + 1 for v in values] => ? log.debug("new values: " + str(values)) context[slave_id].setValues(register, address, values)  

Thank you very much.
