is it possible work with modbus on mini?

has any one  worked with modbus on mini? can anybody giveme some ideas how
can i do that?

clear that you can use modbus. modbus is only a communication protocol
based on a series of rules that easily you find in the Web. besides the
protocolic norm you have the electrical form that is RS485 like eletrical
norm for intercommunicating between the diverse devices 

now, which you need is a convesor usb serial type ftdi232BM, and an
interface tll, tll > rs485. p.e SN75176A are many but like these.

thanks alot friend and about the code?? do you some link that can giveme
somes ideas?

now any thing that you do you are going to have to carefully study the
manual of the machine with which you want comunicate to know its internal
registries and their directions etc etc… much work by the forehead!

Hello! 
If you work on WindowsCE environment, check:

I use it with VS 2008 and works fine!

I used on RS232 starndard serial port, because my PLC slave modbus have
RS232 connection too.

If you decide to build your own TTL to 485 converter, be careful when using
SN75176A under linux.  Uart driver provided with Linux shipped with the
device don't implement RTS pins, so you won't be able to use it to select
TX and RX on the SN75176A.

Been there done that !
