Installing the modbus RTU library for Android is straightforward. Once you decided which version to use (release or debug), follow these steps:
BiemmeModbus.jar into \libs folder of your Android project\libs\armeabi (eventually create it if it does not exist)import com.biemme.modbus.*;
That's it! Use the library as your needs. For instance, you can add the following statements for reading the first 10 registers from node 1.
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
int slave_id = 1; //slave id device number
int fid = 0; //file handler serial port
int start_ad = 0;
int regs = 10; //number of registers to read
int [] hr = new int[20];
//serial opening with baudrate 38400 bps and 40000ns as timeout
fid = ModbusLib.openCom(38400, 40000, 40000);
//Logs the fid, use adb logcat
Log.d("FID=",String.valueOf(fid));
ModbusLib.ReadHoldingRegisters(fid, slave_id, start_ad, regs, hr);
for (int i = 0; i <= (regs-1); i++){
Log.d("Reg Value =",String.valueOf(hr[i]));
}
ModbusLib.closeCom(fid);
}
