Reliability Question and Connection Problem about node-ads

[roccomuso]

I did a few tests and generally speaking, it works. But I do not consider the module "stable".
This repo was an attempt to recover old ads code found in a couple of forks around.

Bug fixes are welcome.

ok, cool, feel free to open a PR

I'll see if I can get it to work and if so, I'll make some patches. Repository Access would be good :-)

I also had issues connecting to TC3. It appears that the default port changed from 801 to 851 with TC3 (and that setting is quite well hidden).

Perhaps that could be added to some documentation here.

@sanderd17 Could you open a PR to better document this? thx

Hello @roccomuso ,
I use a CX5020 for my trials and also have problems to connect. I tried a several times different combinations of Adresses NetIds and ports but no success. Here are the error messages I face:
"Error ADS: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.137.235:48898"
"Error readDeviceInfo: timeout"
"Ads Register Notification live tick timeout"
"Ads Register Notification Sym Tab timeout"

the ECONNREFUSED message sometimes dissappears suddenly but also suddenly comes back without having made any config changes.

@Wolfskammer04 Consider opening a new issue to address the problem.

I opend an new one for @Wolfskammer04
