IDEC_HMI_Arduino

OK when I went to the makespace last night, my HMI code would not connect, and I gave up out of frustration.
The server code hasnt changed!!! ok, but the HMI code DID change.
now, it did seem to work for a few days straight, which was confusing, but I think I have ideas about that:
The Arduino never lost power. The HMI never lost power. the Ethernet was never disconnected.

But when I ran the project last night, I messed with that stuff, the HMI / arduino disconnected.
ok, but at that time, suddenly I have the HMI asking for a boat load of registers, adn the PLC doesnt have them.

So I think the HMI definition of registers, has something to do with the initialization of the HMI.
I think when it does it after a connection has been established, it doesnt drop the connection unless the connection is dropped.

I really want IDEC to service my previous request before I start in with how the HMI initialization actually works.
so ill load the original hmi and see if the thing connects.

Then there is the
D0560
D0562
D0564
D0566
D0568
D0570
D0572

conundrum. those are what the HMi was looking for, those may to a PLC time sync subroutine.
the docs say that the HMI wants a time stamp from the server on init. ok.  why is it looking there though?
I'd figured it was the internal data, but its not evidently.

should have made more photos when it was working.
