[Etherlab-users] Cube67 slave support

[Miceli Jean-Pierre]

Hi Wilhelm,


Thanks again for your support, knowing that the SSI seems buggy is a big help for us.


I'll share the answer from the supplier once I get one...


Have a nice day

J-P

Hallo Jean-Pierre,

We currently don't have time to dig deep, but the ssi-content seems to
be buggy. Please let us know what's the suppliers opinion on this.

Thanks and regards

Wilhelm
