Hi @kulia

Thank you so much for sharing the Python parsing script for the X4M300 – it's been incredibly helpful!

Could you kindly share the pymoduleconnector module as well? I've been trying to locate it, but I haven’t been able to find a working source or download link from the Novelda website.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your contribution!

Hi @Prisila20 ,
Thanks for your interest in the script! For the pymoduleconnector module, I believe it can be accessed from this link: https://github.com/novelda/Legacy-SW/tree/master/ModuleConnector

However, I should mention that I haven't verified this source recently. This appears to be in Novelda's legacy software repository, so it should contain what you need for the X4M300.

Hi @kulia

Thank you so much.
