Loading Modbus assets and channels [message #1784023]

I'm in the process of building a Kura bundle that communicates with a series of ModBus devices.
I installed the ESF modbus driver, added a driver instance under "Drivers and Assets" and an asset along with a few dummy channels.
How should I go about using this newly created instance and load all assets/channels associated with it?
Should I use the AssetService to obtain a list of Assets with listAssets()?
I'm confused as to which parts of the API are meant for building custom drivers.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I couldn't figure out what are the steps that you are trying to do.
Did you have a look at the official Kura documentation to learn how to interact with Drivers and Assets? https://eclipse.github.io/kura/wires/kura-wires-intro.html

Are you trying to fill the Asset configuration programmatically?

Thanks.
Best regards,
Matteo

Hi
Sorry, I phrased my post incorrectly. I was looking for a way to load all my drivers, assets programmatically and read their channels but I was unsure which parts of the API docs were for implementing your own driver and which for actually using it. After some trial and error I managed to do it with AssetService. Thank you for your input.
