Unclear README instruction: How do we download the example to the target? about ads HOT 4 CLOSED

Indeed, you need to compile the PLC project and then upload it to your PLC.
This README cannot cover all aspects of ADS and TwinCAT so I like to refer you to our Infosys:

Two more common problems:

1. You cannot use this OpenSource lib to connect to a TwinCAT server on localhost.
2. Make sure you setup your ADS/AMS routes correctly

So I understand that the "PLC-TestProject" is for TwinCAT-3 and not for TwinCAT-2. I'm not able to find such a menu option in TwinCAT-2.

In fact, you've explained ADS/AMS route settings so clear (1, 2, 3) that I won't be able to create connection with node-ads without these instructions.

Yes, PLC-TestProject is a TwinCAT 3 project.
If you were able to connect to your TwinCAT server with node-ads. It should be straightforward to adjust example/example.cpp to read exactly the same values.

I'm currently not capable of editing the example/example.cpp but this issue can be considered as "answered". Thank you.
