    hi, I’m trying to figure out how to connect my T3DL motor drivers to Sim tools but they don’t support simple serial instead they use modbus RTU which I don’t know how to get SIM tools to communicate with my motor driver.

    I was planning on using an Arduino to communicate between the computer and the motor driver, but I am open to switching to something else if that turns out to be a better option.

    Edit: I found out that my driver has a (step/dir) control port that I can use to which might be easier than the modbus.
