Newbie here as well as C/C++ but I do dabble with Python and bacpypes quite a bit.
Am curious to ask for a microcontroller project can I use the C bacnet-stack running a simple BACnet server and then use C++ for some basic calculations/algorithms on the same microcontroller for the data coming to the bacnet server points??
For example take data in on a few writeable/command-able AV bacnet server points ---> make some calculations in C++ ---> change the value of a non-writable BV on the bacnet server
Apologize if this is a silly question...but curious to ask if there would be a simple bacnet server example to look at and if I can combine C/C++ on the same board??
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It would be nice to have an example BACnet server with a program object with an interpreter/virtual-machine that could be programmed like Arduino C or Circuit Python, but nothing like that has been done in the examples or apps (yet).

Yes, it is certainly possible to do those kind of things - see apps/server-client or apps/piface for some C code ideas where the object properties are manipulated.

thank you...would you have any simple BACnet server examples look at?
Can one just modify the point names in here to try it out?
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/bacnet/code/trunk/bacnet-stack/demo/server/
In this file can I experiment with creating what points I would like in the BACnet server?

Am curious to experiment trimming it down to a few writeable/commable analogValues (AVs) and one BV object. Thanks!
There are also examples of other selections of 'device' objects containing a few other objects in various ports/ folders.
