Beckhoff ethercat 64 with bit linuxcnc, How to install.

Hi Grotius,
thanks for the update for installing linuxcnc and ethercat on Buster.
Did you manage to make glade and its library working on this OS? To me I manage to do like you: ethercat + linuxcnc but still struggling with the linuxcnc library for glade installation and I believe this is related to the python version.
Cheers,
Nicolas

hi grotius, in the script this part fails me:

3. Install linuxcnc-ethercat
$ cd linuxcnc-ethercat / => make

it shows me the following error:

configure.mk.8: *** halcompile / comp executable not found or set.

Do you know what is it?

@ Nico,

Ahaa... i did not know that.

To install glade on buster :


Usage : $ sudo ./setup2.txt

It has a txt extension, but that doesn't affect a bash script at all :laugh:

Good luck !!

@ Mike,

The linuxcnc-ethercat is the easyest to install.

For example, you can execute this script :

usage $ ./setup1.txt

A very dumb question
How I can to send command to el2004 from terminal?
Ethercat download -p (0/1) -t bool 0x7000 1 1 isn't work?

Upd. I do this by "halcmd lcec.0.D2.dout-0 1" But how to send it by simple terminal?

Hi,

This post has a attachment txt file with example command's. It point's to the documentation for the command's.

Hello @TheRoslyak

It is trying to send an SDO configuration value to a PDO, I think it is not possible, but it can send a pulse to the register that will be reflected in the output an instant. registry value value
