Q&A Forum
Hello,
In order to developp and debug plugins, a controller should be connected to the PC. In my case, the controller location is far from my home.
Is there a "virtual" or "simulated" hardware mode to help debug plugins whithout real hardware ??
Another possible option would be to use an evaluation board which runs the firmware. Obviously whithout the interfaces.
Any suggestions ?

Maybe something like this works? Network Serial Port Kit - share and access COM port over Ethernet (network-serial-port.com)
Could be a solution, but the PC driving the controller have no access to internet.
And everything is often powered off.
A third solution would be to send serial data frames using a software. At work I use https://docklight.de/. It can send frames at time interval, and frames in response to received frames.
Could be a good solution, but you should provide the serial protocol used by the controller.
