I am trying to connect an energy monitor to a raspberry pi equipped with 
a small RS485 card from AB electronics. Effectively the card is just an 
interface chip between the pi's GPIO pins and the RS485 bus which is 
just 3 wires.
I have installed libmodbus and followed the instructions to disable the 
serial port login.
Originally I was working with the Bluetooth equipped RP3 but reverted to 
RP2 running wheezy because bluetooth complicates things and I thought I 
would avoid it.
If anybody is familiar with this sort of setup and may have possibly 
come up against the following problem I would be grateful.
I have done the "make check" which tests the libmodbus installation. I 
have modified the  "test" programme for my environment and the 
initialisation and connection are OK but when I try to read the 
registers, I get a timeout. The fault could be anywhere.
Thanks,
Roger
