It could also be that using the demo code as a foundation is a mistake, and someone could point me in a different direction? Advice, instructions, examples, at this point anything is welcomed to perhaps get me further. So, finally, I'm here hoping for some help. I've seen that there are programs that should enable Modbus with the Raspberry Pi (like PyModbus), but I'm uncertain whether my circumstances are different, having a special shield, and whether such programs would work for my setup? I did find where the demo code originated, but wasn't able to find/understand anything there that could help me. Searching on the internet, I attempted to find a tutorial or description of what the different variables and functions did, to better understand, but couldn't find anything like that. I had hoped to perhaps be able to modify the demo program to suit my needs, but was unable to understand the code uses there. I've studied the actuator's technical documents to determine what to send, but I'm lost in regards to writing the program. The wall is rather simply getting started with Modbus. I believe these are the functions I'll be using: The actuators I'm planning on using are Linak LA36.

Shield user manual - inside the user manual folder. I've run a demo test program that confirm that the Pi works with its new shield, but hit a wall afterwards. For this purpose I've purchased a special shield for my Pi. I'm currently engaged in a project where I'm trying to implement Modbus with the Raspberry Pi 4 as master and controlling a number of actuators as slaves.
