Hello, Trying to power through this learning curve. Im using a Linux PC >Python >OpenCV and a video sensor to track an object. The idea is to send X and Y movement instructions as well as engine start instructions via MODBUS to a P2-550. Is this the proper way to go about this? Once this is working i'd like to send info to the PC as well further down the road(i assume this is possible?). I think i can figure out the programing of the P2K but the communication between the p2K and the PC seems daunting. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The instructions seem very well written but im just not getting it. Thank you, Grant
