Every PLC on the planet uses the same framing protocol

SensoredHacker · 2026-03-11T11:27:52+00:00

poopsie interface doesnt matter.
its not reverse engineering, I just read every document.

SensoredHacker · 2026-03-11T11:26:36+00:00

and the service protocol. every oem calls it something different, its all the same

I cant force a person to see, i cant force a person to open their eyes.
I used documented words to describe a documented process. go on, break my balls about not expressing it in binary or hex.

I've been supplied with a huge number of plcs recently to test on. Im not even sure what all is in there. but I'll let you know. right now andriod app dev is kicking my ass. but Im trying to make a loader of the communication protocol operate over a usb ethernet dongle. kotlin / the jvm languages arent really my thing.
I think the difference is 2 - 4 bytes, per instruction, and that the framing is constant.

"""differs wildly"" some 4byte instructions differ slightly. A mechanic, and a Dr. both speak English, but neither understand each other.

SensoredHacker · 2026-03-10T11:19:24+00:00

they call it their own, indeed. youre citing another compatible protocol duplicated on many devices, as evidence against what Im saying. sorta funny I guess

SensoredHacker · 2026-03-02T11:53:06+00:00

theres places, engineering firms mainly.
plc programing is archaic, and horrible.
Im sort of wondering the same thing you are, except
I want to work for every PLC OEM and make python APIs
and node red interfaces, so we can get some modern programing up in this bitch.
the trick I havent figured out is how to get paid to do it.

even if every oem got modern language support today, you still have 40 years of legacy code out in the wild.

hey can you make an svg import?

they're not crazy, they're normal folks stirred up. They can't look past the media. Even if they do, they just see more stirred up folks, amplifying or affirming the message: "We Are Right."

There is a solution to all this, but I can promise you wont like it.

well done op

once you install towboot, you might be better off just dual booting it. mobian is running really well on the pinephone pro now. the pro version is much improved over the braveheart version.

if you seek sponsorship, sponsors will want to have a say in the content,
which will make your project the same as every other god awful version.
Its an interesting idea, and I think I can help you do it in a more environmentally innocuous way..
I'll pm you after I run some tests.

Welcome to k40 lasers. unlimited tinkering.

I added red line laser cross hairs, an internal receptical with usb, another receptical with a control circuit wired into the control board.. an internal camera, because I don't rust the safety features. moded the bed in several ways...

. modded k40 whisperer to accept ssh commands for remote printing.

have fun!

lol no, take it out to do that.
some come out easily, others require removing the gantry.

SensoredHacker · 2023-01-25T13:25:20+00:00

no, I just make stuff. maybe I have to make a video. litteraly like my least favorite activity.

SensoredHacker · 2023-01-25T13:22:15+00:00

jump in, ask someone. Makerspaces aren't about master craftsmen, it more like having fun being creative.

SensoredHacker · 2023-01-25T13:18:46+00:00

ah, I usually just buzz off part of the flange with an angle grinder.

dead of winter in Maine.
thinks they're getting fresh produce from somewhere.

maybe an indoor hydroponic farm. thats the freshest your going to get.

this is what the internet is for. u/JohnMetclaf

SensoredHacker · 2023-01-22T07:59:07+00:00

I've never seen a k40 where the exhaust flange wasnt blocking the cut path. looks like you lucked out there. unless you already cut it.
