Run a Virtual Factory with Arduino!

This is an excellent way to learn about Arduino Without hardware. The only thing you need is an Arduino Mega, Uno or Nano.

Not_Needed_Source_Code_Modbus_converter

Python
This is the Python scrip used for the exe. file to parse Modbus serial data to Modbus TCP/IP.
I have no formal training in text based coding and I'm used to PLC language based coding so please excuse me for the bad syntax and stuff. I'm just glad that it worked (put some time and effort in it).
#Script to read a serial Modbus Client Arduino and parse the data to TCP/IP Modbus
#client to Factory I/O.
#Author : Seafoxc Date: 15/05/2021
#Please note that I'm not an IT person by education and that I know the script can be optimised a lot.
#But it works for the intended purpose so that is all it has to do for me.
