Nope. Seem a bit pricy for what they do and adding another bus type (VNET I think they call it) doesn't seem appetizing. Me, I live with RPI's and Modbus over RS485.

They seem to be interesting little gadgets, I was thinking depending if I get a Version of Vis Studio there maybe an Artical.

Yes. I used them to interface some USB input devices more than a decade ago. I was surprised dotnet didn't have a standard USB interface library at that time and we needed to move the dlls with the source code (we didn't have nuget or something). Not sure whether MS fixed that now.

Ahhh, I haven't used it in anger yet just had the load cell on the desk and got some readings off. Looking to use Visual Studio, but as is the way (Mandalorian reference, almost), I cannot seem to IT to install Vis Studio for me. Looking like I will have to bring 'em home to play. There appears to be a Dot Net frame work for them now, I wonder how it will go?

Will probably be posted at 08:30 or so (normal for me) but I've got a "sit-and-wait"^* appointment at the dentist tomorrow at 09:00 so replies to solutions may be sporadic.

* I.e. no specific time, you turn up when they open and they fit you in when they can.
