Modbus TCP Programming and Experimentation

Modbus TCP Programming and Experimentation

11.7 Modbus TCP Programming and Experimentation This course does not support sensors that use the Modbus TCP protocol, so we will write two programs: ① modbus_server_tcp.c: Simulate a Modbus TCP sensor ② modbus_client_tcp.c: Operate the sensor The program structure is shown in the figure below: No special connections are required on the hardware. The source … Read more

Introduction to RT-Thread Sensor Device Driver Framework

Introduction to RT-Thread Sensor Device Driver Framework

Background and Overview Sensor is an important part of the Internet of Things (IoT), “Sensors to IoT” is equivalent to “eyes to humans.” Without eyes, humans cannot see this vast world, and without sensors, IoT cannot perceive the ever-changing world. Currently, there are many sensors developed for IoT, including Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, Ambient Light Sensors, … Read more

Understanding Misconceptions About Sensor Sizes

Understanding Misconceptions About Sensor Sizes

[For camera information, check Camera Notes] In yesterday’s article, we didn’t mention “sensor size”, and I didn’t expect that there would be so many misconceptions… How Big is 1 Inch Actually? Due to some historical issues*, whether in cameras or smartphones, the “1 inch” in the diagonal length of the sensor is not 25.4mm. * … Read more
