I don't have any webpages to throw at you but converters from rs232 to rs485 exists. Also plugins cards to soekris that I would assume to be working.
I have a lot of stuff I plan too hook up to OpenBSD, but have not found a good way to get the data out without writing to much code. It feels like reinventing the wheel each time. If anyone knows of an easy way to add hooks to sysctl that can be monitored by the sensorsd framework without hacking the kernel I would be really happy to know. Jacob Yocom-Piatt wrote:
i am planning on pulling live rate data from some manufacturing equipment using a red lion rate meter with RS-232 or 485 interface http://www.redlion.net/Products/DigitalandAnalog/Counters/CounterRate/CUB5.html what is the best way to pull this data, using base OS utilities if possible? if coding this is most expedient, handing me a pointer to a useful information address is sufficient. i'm under the impression that openbsd doesn't support RS-485 interface cards. do correct me if i'm wrong here. cheers, jake
