Hi Denis,
we considered this, but OPC UA is not a serial bus.
From my reading of the qtserialbus code this module
has abstractions such as Devices, Busses, Frames and
such. OPC UA is much more high-level. It has abstractions
such as Clients (of a certain server), nodes or subscriptions.
My understanding is that there is very little common ground
(if at all) with qtserialbus.
Therefore we propose a new module/repo.
Kind Regards,
Frank
