hal ini and xml configuration for akd motor driver

Hello:

./ethercat.hal:14: execv(lcec_conf): No such file or directory

this points to that lcnc can't find the linuxcnc-ethercat files.
Did you installed the ethercat-hal driver?
RIP or installed Version ?

I'm not sure how it was done, either 2.8 std install or install from debs from what I saw.
Its not my machine. I went and looked today then made some progress.
We know that ethercat is loading.
Where is the ethercat hal driver to install?

Hello rodw,

Linux-Dev has to be installed, then follow these steps:

git clone github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat
cd linuxcnc-ethercat
make configure
make
sudo make install

Thank you. That did the trick. Linuxcnc now opens, all the pins are now showing but we could not home the X axis.
I'll open a new thread for our problems. Hopefully some kind soul will help us.

hello .
I want to install a Linux CNC, use Ethercat, and write HAL to turn a motor.

It uses Panasonic A5 series motors and amplifiers.
I've done a lot of research, but I can't get my head around it at all.

Below are my questions.
thank you for your help

1. Does the HAL file differ depending on the type of servo motor?
  (I just want to rotate the motor first)
2. Created HAL file. After looking at the manufacturer's manual, I entered the address and information of the servo amplifier.
  How to transmit step movement signal from Linux CNC to motor?

I don't understand the process at all.

hello there,

a lot of tried and really working stuff is here :

forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/22346-etherc...ver?start=850#159273  ... here is working configuration for AKD 

It is really easy to configure. It is Pure CiA402 stuff... at your place I will start in TwinCAT3, mapped PDOs and start up, try it over axis NC online simulation and finally try to setup own stuff...
