Thanks for your report. I will run some tests today and see if I can replicate the crash issue and fix it.

Modbus TCP Client and RTU Master / Re: GUI wishes

« on: February 09, 2023, 10:41:36 pm »

Thank you Markus,
We are always happy to hear improvement suggestions.

It would help us greatly if you could provide some sort of visual reference as to what you would like to see.
Just a hand sketch or something really simple would be great so we can visualise your ideal GUI.

You can email it to us via support AT apphugs DOT com

EchoHam / New EchoHam version 2.25

« on: January 29, 2023, 03:37:58 pm »

The last 3 releases included many code improvements with some of the old Objective-C modules completely re-written in Swift.
V2.25 provides the ability to set specific audio devices for use with EchoHam via the preferences window.

Since some audio devices can be temporary (e.g. bluetooth earphones getting disconnected), EchoHam will not complain when a pre-set audio device is not available, instead, it will revert to the default device specified in system preferences.

To always use the audio settings from system preferences you can set the audio devices to "Default" in EchoHam.
Using default devices has the advantage of devices automatically changing as required by the system.

EchoHam / New EchoHam V2.20/21 - with proxy support

« on: December 29, 2022, 06:38:02 pm »

V2.21 has been submitted to the AppStore for approval and should be available for download in the next few days.
It took a while to implement proxy server support in the code but hopefully this will fix the most common user problem reported over the years, which is the port forwarding setup on routers.

Here is an explanation and demonstration of the proxy server support feature:
https://youtu.be/pkrYBUvLCXE

I would expect some bugs to show up as the proxy server code required modifications in most of the code modules.
I ask for your assistance in resolving the bugs.
Before reporting a bug please make sure it is repeatable and that you record the exact steps which lead to the bug so I can re-create the bug and try to resolve it in the next version.
You can email all bug reports to me: support AT gmail DOT com

Modbus Server / New Modbus Server(TCP) and Slave(RTU) application

« on: September 08, 2022, 12:05:14 pm »

Modbus Server has been completely re-written using the latest Apple SDK and Network Framework.
Unfortunately it was not feasible to accommodate the new features in the old version so we have now created two new applications:

• Modbus TCP Server
• Modbus RTU Slave (to be published soon)

Splitting the RTU and TCP functionality has come as a result customer confusion with the server/client (TCP) and master/slave (RTU) terminology. We re hoping the new terminology leaves no room for confusion.

The error message states:

It it trying to tell you that, when you have EchoHam running, another station might not be able to contact you.

Can you please clarify if you have been successfully contacted by another station?

Hi dumpington,
thanks for the feedback.
you are not the first user to come up with this suggestion.
It is already on the feature request list and will be implemented eventually.

Unfortunately time is limited, but I will get to it eventually.

Modbus Client (Pro) / Re: How to set the port number to 502?

« on: April 24, 2021, 09:20:08 am »

Prior to macOS V10.14 (Mojave) all ports below 1023 require root privileges for full access. A workaround solution is explained in the ModbusClient Help section.
From 10.14 onwards this restriction has been removed and you can simply set the port number to 502.
