As I have come to realize from the examples, implementing a slave modbus RTU is a blocking process through the ModbusRTU.process() function. This makes the microcontroller useless and very limited because there's no way to change the coils and holding register's values while slave is responsive to incoming requests. (while updating the variables, the slave becomes irresponsible).
So my question is are there any solutions/workarounds for this purpose?
Thank you for your really great work.
P.S: I noticed that there are other issues & PRs going on about this subject. But I didn't came to a conclusion.
