Basic M-Bus Master

This project provides a very basic M-Bus master for a wired network. It builds on libmbus and provides enough functionality to:

• Initiate primary address scanning
• Initiate secondary address scanning
• Set primary address from secondary address
• Request data from primary address

Build & Install

First install libmbus, using the defaults it gets installed into /usr/local. Debian/Ubuntu systems support that path out of the box, but Fedora/RedHat systems may need some special incantations. The installed library provides a libmbus.pc file, which this project use to figure out the path to the library and include files.

Issuing

make

builds mbus-master in the current directory. Install it anywhere on your system, and make sure to bundle the library .so file if you move the binary to another system.
