I really hope these can2gos are good . I need a small programmable system instead of peicing together t775 and miscellaneous temp. controllers and stats.
Those of you who have ordered these demo kits or received individual controllers... Can you PM me the price that you guys are paying for this stuff.
I have talked with one of the guys from their marketing side and I guess I want to get an idea of the costs before I hit them up with a request to do a Full Review of their equipment for my Blog.
Let me know in PMs or Contact Me on my Blog, since I know pricing can not be spoken about in public forums. Thanks.
received my kit a couple of weeks ago now. Looks like a good system. The LUA language will take some getting used to. Not big on wireless stuff but there is modbus , another lerning curve. All in all I am pretty positive on this can2go thing.
Yea, I've been playing around with mine also. I jumped the gun on an earlier post and I got partner access now. I started working with the Lua modbus scripts and I have it communicating, but having some learning curve as well.
I think for an "all-in-one" it's pretty slick and it's inexpensive for what it does. Looks like you can have 99 AV's and 99 BV's for either/or modbus and bacnet. I'm able to see it over BACnet/IP so that is a plus. The Enocean wireless is easy as well.
I would love to get my hands on a Lua script for a basic RTU/AHU to see how that works. All in all, I'm giving it a thumbs up.

I am doing a 3 boiler project right now. and am planning to do a ahu in a month or 2. Would like to trade scripts with someone if possible. take the steepness out of the learning curve.
Has anyone had any luck with Lua, specifically working with Modbus? My wanting to figure it out has just about ran out. I've been able to get it to communicate but in the part of the code where it specifies floating,UINT, SINT, etc is where its getting deep for me!

I have been working on it. I haven't had as much time as I would like. Been able to do some basic stuff. ?The learning curve is steep their website is helpful. I think at the end of the time investment it will be worthwhile. The product is great a can to go. No external software, graphics built in. I might even consider some wireless options on some of my jobs.
cheers
Just happened to notice a training class on this stuff - http://blog.alpscontrols.com/2012/03...scontrols-com/

scl elements also has regular courses look on the can2go website. Just need some time.
Just wondering if anyone has done a large job with multiple pieces of equipment with all Can2Go.
Now that they have wireless controllers suited for VAV's I'm wondering if anyone is having any luck.
They have improved it a bit with graphical programming (wire sheet like Workbench). It's minimal on what you can select but a big step in the right direction.
Anyways, just wondering.

I have been playing with my evaluation kit a lot lately. The Lua programming is pretty tricky. Has anyone had any luck with them . Would anybody like to write me some programs for a little extra money?
LUA might be good, but far from something desirable in my opinion...
We don't need another line code controller and language to learn...Specially LUA that looks like a "dead end" language no one else uses...
Graphical programming is available.

We are looking at picking up this product line. A Co-Worker and I will be going to a training class this week in Orlando. Look like a nice product to offer.
