Hi All,

I am trying to install pymodbus on my emonpi. I have attached the logfile I pasted bellow were I think the error is but I am unsure how to fix it.

error: [Errno 28] No space left on deviceputty.txt (177.7 KB)

I am trying to use this interface

Can you post the result of this command

df -h

the last line says no space left so the above command should reveal something, what size micro SD card are you using? Did you write the emonSD image to the card yourself or buy it from the shop? If the former, did you use emonExpand to expand the filesystem and partitions to fill the card?

Hi Paul

it was a prebuilt SD card supplied at the same time as my emonpi

I have managed to install it with sudo apt-get install python-pymodbus

output for reference.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the edit.

I now have the interface installed and sort of working.

If I set the register to 40001 I get “Connection failed on read of register: 40001” the same for 30001. but if I change it to 1 I get the correct data back for register 30001

From the manual I have
function code 0X04
Register 0x0001
Data Format Int16
length 1

If I use Modbus master I am able to see the correct values for 0x04 and 0x03 with registers 0-125

I have been having another look today,

if I set the register number to 327 I get a static number for register 40070.

are they any other syntax’s for the register?

Sorry I can’t help with PyModbus itself, I’ve no experience.
