Re: Help

We also bridge Arduino and EPICS with a linux host (RPi4) and comm with it via a serial interface. It works well and is relatively simple, cost effective, and development time is relatively short, depending on the complexity of the task. We write the code for the Arduino and flash it with ProjectIO using VSCode (the single best thing MS has ever made, IMHO) as the IDE. This way we can ssh into the host, and remotely (re-) program the Arduino. ProjectIO supports dozens of development boards and is widely supported by the community. 

For prototyping purposes, this helps us move quickly without getting lost deep in the woods. 

Hope that is helpful.

In this example using an Arduino with EPICS, https://cmd-response.readthedocs.io, the IOC runs on a linux computer (RPi, in the example) and communicates with the Arduino over USB.

But if are you asking if anyone has implemented Channel Access protocol to run directly on the Arduino?  I don't think so.
