Hi,
I'm new to LinuxCNC and want to get started with an EK1100 Coupler and a few IO-Modules.
I'm using:
- LinuxCNC 2.8.0 Debian 10 Buster PREEMPT-RT ISO
- Driver build via ec-debianize as *.deb package
- linuxcnc-ethercat also build as a *.deb package
ethercat slaves show up in PREOP
halcmd:
All pins are shown and halmeter shows the attached toggle switch.I tried to get LinuxCNC up and running with
but it won't start.
What did I do wrong?
