Hello everyone. I wanted to see if anyone could assist me with this issue I've been having for a couple of days. I recently purchased an Arduino OPTA, powered it up, and went online with it using USB connection by pointing to an active COM port. However, I would like to set up the remaining functionality of the Opta by setting an IP address for it and enabling any WiFi functionality.
I only have a single driver in my "DeviceLinkManager Config" which is just Modbus protocol. I've gone to the sketch template within the IDE for configuring a static IP address and uncommented the code, attempted to compile it, and downloaded to the OPTA. No matter what I've tried to do, I've received an error before compiling that states there is an improper argument and then it starts compiling. I've tried to execute the code from the Arduino IDE and PLC IDE and it seems like the code finishes compiling, but I can't ping for an IP address whatsoever. I've also tried to check out "Ethernet" in the Resources tab to see if there was anything I could set up there. I've tried executing example scripts I found online, and it seems like I still cannot ping for any IP address. I've tried to see what the Opta was set to as soon as I plugged in, but did not find much in the command prompt by using the "arp -a" command.
What am I doing wrong? I deal with all sorts of PLCs and IDEs, but it seems like trying to set anything up in this PLC IDE is a cumbersome task. I just wanted to use this in conjunction with VTScada so I could create a fun game in my free time. Can anyone help me solve this issue? If not, I'll just need to resort to doing everything using a USB-C connection and see if I can set that up within VTScada somehow.
Thanks!
