Ethercat HAL driver

I do not have .ini, xml and hal is complete in my original post. I minimize this for the first test, before I go complex.

What I think is that I should work with linuxcnc 2.6, not 2.7. I did fresh install 2.6, but now I can not install ethercat as it seems package repository is down. I get 502 Bad Gateway error.

Hi,
it is running with 2.7,
you need this in your hal-file: (with complete path to the xml !!)

loadusr -W lcec_conf /home/fb/linuxcnc/configs/ethercat/ethercat-conf.xml
loadrt lcec
loadrt trivkins
loadrt motmode base_period_nsec=0 servo_period_nsec=1000000 num_joints=3
#

---

addf lcec.read-all servo-thread
addf motion-command-handler servo-thread
addf motion-controller servo-thread
addf lcec.write-all servo-thread
#

---

I think, the xml is ok

I have my test-conf.xml in my current directory so I do not need path to xml.

I can not test as I do not have 2.7 anymore, and I can not install in 2.6 as I get 502 Bad Gateway error on package repository. Do you think addf would make the difference?

Solved.

Package repository is back. I install ethercat on 2.6 and I do not get any errors. It seems the driver is not compatible with 2.7.

That seems strange. I can't off-hand think of anything which would have changed to affect that.

You're right, I have the same errors with 2.7
