 * https://github.com/alexnathanson/EPSolar_Tracer/blob/master/Arduino/Dec24_modbus_softwareserial/Dec24_modbus_softwareserial.ino
 * 
  This program is based off of RS485_HalfDuplex.ino found at
  https://github.com/4-20ma/ModbusMaster/blob/master/examples/RS485_HalfDuplex/RS485_HalfDuplex.ino
  
  RS485_HalfDuplex.pde - example using ModbusMaster library to communicate
  with EPSolar LS2024B controller using a half-duplex RS485 transceiver.

  This example is tested against an EPSolar LS2024B solar charge controller.
  See here for protocol specs:

  Modified:: 2023 DeltaLima
  Notes: I took the register stuff from https://github.com/Bettapro/Solar-Tracer-Blynk-V3
         Had to hack around e.g. the battOverallCurrent as I only got garbage 
         when using the method from Bettapro. 
         Reading loadPoweredOn does not work atm (10.08.2023)

/*
    We're using a MAX485-compatible RS485 Transceiver.

  In order to allow for Modbus communication and serial communication with the Arduino Uno,
  we're using software serial.Rx/Tx is hooked up to the software serial port at RX=10 & TX=11.
  The Data Enable and Receiver Enable pins are hooked up at DE = 3 & RE = 2.

  Wiring
  MAX485 => Arduino 
  GND => GND
  VCC => 5V
  DI => 9
  DE => 3
  RE => 2
  RO => 8

  MAX485 Nr 2 =>Arduino 
  GND => GND
  VCC => 5V
  DI => 11
  DE => 5
  RE => 4
  RO => 10

  TRACER => MAX485
  blue => B
  green => A

  Put a 10K Resistor from D7 to GND. 
  To enable two Controller Mode, add a Jumper from 5V to D7.
