(Freelancer) Linux CNC + EtherCat + RPi 4 Setup

Hello
Is there a freelancer who can help me to configure linuxcnc with ethercat stepper driver on raspberry pi?

Hi,

So far i know there are several topics where is explained how to install a rpi with lcnc.
Did you see this topics already?

Hi Grotius
I have installed and configured everything. dmesg does not give an error, ethercat debug does not give an error, slaves are in OP state but the stepper not work run.
 

Hi,

Attached files worked for me to drive the steppers.
When in lcnc do you see the lcec's already in halview?

Hi
You use EL2124 while I have generic drivers as attached.
Yes! I see the lcec's already and I get feedback from el2008 device but not stepper.
 
 

hi,

-linuxcnc starts without errors?
-all ethercat slaves gets op state after linuxcnc start?

-do you get any values on the slave pins, if you look with halshow ?
example lcec.0.4.cia-statusword or actual-position

Linuxcnc starts without errors, All driver are in OP state. there are no errors in dmesg.

The only thing I noticed is that starting linuxcnc the slaves are in OP state but doing
ethercat upload -p1 -t int16 0x6040 0 (Control Word)
the value is 6 instead the manufacturer says it must be 15 to enable the motors
ethercat upload -p1 -t int8 0x6060 0 (mode of operation) returns 0 instead it must be 08

I don't know where these values are set
 

ethercat upload, download is the wrong way after starting linuxcnc.
These commands are for asynchronous communication and useless, after the ethercat realtime thread is started.

please use halshow to see if there are any values are transported from the drive.

In Axis click on Show Hal Configuration, then in the left tree you can select pins and after that navigate to your lcec pins.
lock for lcec.0.4.cia-statusword and lcec.0.4.actual-position .

By the way, your config has to match the drives pdo / cstruct to get the right pdo count. so make it identicall to the pdos output. You have to add the "last Error Code" Touch probe, digital inputs stuff etc.

6 is the rights value in standby mode, you have to tell the drive that it should be enable . If you are using the cia402 component the enable pin has to be set to true. usually you will connect this pin to the enable pin from the joint. That mean if you switch on estop and machine on in linuxcnc the drive will be enabled.

But in you hal file, the connection from joint enable to enable-x is commented out....

Hi
To add last Error Code, Touch probe etc what values should I put on halPin?
