Archie;

Is there a chance that Mono has developed any further since the referenced article (2011) ?

I found this from 2013, but it's mostly Greek to me...............

@Archie
In the ModbusRTU definition, where the com port is declared, can ANY string be used there, or is it restricted to "COM1, COM2, etc." ?

I was looking at that and even had my finger on the Buy button, but decided to wait until I finish some of my real projects before I add any more pet projects. I wish I had the 3D CAD skills to design a case for it that would allow in wall or panel mounting of it. Would be a good project for 3D printing too.

I have the 'official' R Pi 7" touchscreen up and running and have to say - it's nice.   No issues at all getting it connected and operational with either Raspbian/Jessie or with Win10 IOT.

There are a number of low-cost 3rd party cases on the market now for it as well, although I haven't come across any that are 'industrial duty"....................

Looking to tap the infinite knowledge here...........

Have AHMI running on a R Pi 3 (running Raspian/Jessie).

Having a problem establishing comms between the Pi/AHMI app and the PLC via ModbusRTU.    Modbus RTU driver wants "Com1, 2, 3", but Pi/Raspbian doesn't define USB ports that way. 

Anyone have a solution to offer ?

Has anyone tried Windows 10 IoT on the Pi with AHMI?

Windows 10 IoT requires UWP applications which is a different UI and framework. I have been gradually modifying the drivers so the will also work in UWP apps, but they are not quite there yet.

How's that coming ?  Dying to try AHMI on an R Pi 3 with their touchscreen and ModBus comms....................................
