New ethercat / probe basic control for minimonster

not sure on what program?

thats after this line
git clone github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402

I think you are in the /dev folder, not ~/dev
note the ~ for home folder.
 

i see. cause i tried ~/dev and it says no such folder

git clone puts the folder with the same name as the repository in the folder you run the command in. have a look in the file explorer
I tend to create a new folder ~/devel and put all my cloned repos in it. I used to use ~/dev under my home folder but it is easy to get mixed up with the system folder as you found out

so to be clear, I need to make this folder. it is not one that should already exist?
