  pinMode(DE_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(RE_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(DE_PIN, LOW);
  digitalWrite(RE_PIN, HIGH);

// Initialize the Modbus protocol
  mb.begin(RX_PIN, TX_PIN);
}

void loop() {
  // Read data from the Modbus device
  int data = mb.readHoldingRegisters(0x0000, 1);

// Process the received data
  if (data != mb.ku8MBIllegalData) {
    Serial.print("Received data: ");
    Serial.println(data);
  }

delay(1000);
}
```
