The library MODBUS_TCP was upgraded to a newer version 600 times faster.
Also, we published the results of the non-finished project Likindoy-RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) over Advantech ADAM 5510.
And now we are in two parallel projects:
1. Protocol for Web-based HMI: exactly as its name says, we are working on designing a new protocol specifically for Web Based HMI Systems (Web-Based Scada System). Four people are part of this: Michael Griffin (USA), Juan José Denís (Spain), Matheus Ledesma (USA) and Juan Miguel Taboada (Spain), and you are welcome to join us. You can find more information on Likindoy’s Wiki.
2. Likindoy-RTU: after getting very disappointed with the hardware ADAM 5510 from Advantech, we decided to start a new development based on that work but able to work on any computer that can use Python. Likindoy-RTU intends to be a complete RTU System able to communicate with different DAQ (Data Acquisition Hardware) like Advantech ADAM 5000 TCP, Schneider Momentum, the /proc filesystem of Linux, direct data transfer from normal websites and any protocol based on MODBUS-TCP or that can use the basis of Likindoy-RTU’s DATAIO (Data Input/Output) System.
The system is already finished at 60%, and we are currently working on redesigning old DATAIO libraries to get them all fully compatible with the Likindoy-RTU philosophy. Alerts/Events/Alarm system has been included in it. You will be able to design your own Python program that will process all signals straight with the selected DAQ, it allows communication over Ethernet (already working) and GPRS (on testing right now), and it is also able to share its status with external programs compatible with SQLite Database System. It also can register data in files for later processing, which is compatible with Likindoy-HTR (available in unstable-juanmi version of Likindoy).

The Challenge I recently took on the challenge of modernising a Labelmate PM-300-CS dispensing machine (Internal Mother Board). Ideally, I wanted to control this industrial hardware from my computer, so I decided to interface an ESP32 microcontroller. However, there was a major hurdle: the machine operates on 15V logic with noisy motors, while the delicate ESP32 operates […]
Hello, I am Likindoy: We were looking for a logo that could easily express feelings and movements. We wanted it to be alive like our project. The website we were looking for was supposed to be very easy to use, simple to understand, and that nobody would get lost, and we tried to keep connected […]
