TCP server for Velbus

To be able to communicate with multiple programs to the Velbus hardware, it is recommended to install and run a so called 'TCP server for Velbus'. This daemon will communicate with the USB or serial connection to your Velbus bus. You can open multiple connections via TCP to this daemon.

There are multiple implementations of it. Theses is an (in-)complete list:

• https://github.com/niobos/velbusd
• https://github.com/openremote/Documentation/blob/Velbus/JVelbusD.zip
• https://projetmaison.wordpress.com/velbus-tcp-server-for-windows/
• http://velbus.blog.free.fr/
• http://leachy.homeip.net/velbus/velserv.c

I used velserv.c and compiled it for 32 bit Intel Linux, 64 bit Intel Linux and arm Linux (found in PI). The source file (in src directory( and binary files (in bin directory) are included in velserver. You can just start it. By default it will use /dev/ttyACM0, run as daemon in the background and listen to port 3788.
