Yes, print screen works on most distros, although XFCE used by LinuxCNC version of Debian did not work but it had screenshot in the main menu somewhere.
I pushed the prtsc button on the keyboard and it works

Flameshot is amazing for screen shots as you can save to file, to the clipboard, jusat capture a section and annotate your screenshot
sudo apt install flameshot
 

Hello, 
Is it possible to install ethernet for raspbery pi? Are the iso files up to date ?
 

The Raspberry pi images do not include the Ethercat repositories but enabling some commented out code should enable it according to feedback from etherlabmaster
Try running a script something like this

yes tested it works on my chromebook so it should work on any device Ethercat supports. Shame it does not have an Ethernet port
copy text to a file. call it ethinstall.sh and make it executable:

 

HI
Firstly, thank you very much for this outstanding work. I have installed from the ISO provided, no errors, works as intended. 

I was not planning to use Ethercat, but when i bought new drives for one of my machines, i forgot to specify that i want an analog interface, so they supplied Ethercat drives...so i figured i would give it a go, and i am pleased with the result

I have a PC with 2  network adaptors, and i managed to set up a Mesa 7i92 on the other port, which works, but im having "error finishing read" issues. Im told that this is a known issue with Debian 12 and Realtec NIC's. Will search on the forum for a sollution, though i am pleased with the result so fat.

Thanks again for the effort

Now fixed. They had a bug in the DKMS deb files. Grab this Linuxcnc ISO which has the new keys in it.
ISO:  drive.google.com/file/d/1gEQzgHsj_LjHiGB...k1Z/view?usp=sharing
Folder with all generated files:  drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pwDh_jn8...QcQwcLv7?usp=sharing

This  ISO also corrects installing a pre-release version of Linuxcnc and no installs 2.93 as intended. 
I have asked the devs to copy this ISO to the downloads page.

Hi MR.RODW
I have question
Because my PC a lot setup for 7i73 mattrixkey sendkey for setup in debian (permission) ,If I go to D/L .ISO and reinstall , I must go to setup all again, and not sure I can do it working again or not.
Can you share any solution for fix this error about DKMS and don't need  to reinstall with .ISO ?

Make a new and clean installation on another computer, do not touch the existing computer. If you can run it on a new computer, reinstall it on your existing computer.

Refer here. Please restrict this thread to Ethercat installation only

Hi Rodw, Thanks for all the incredible work so far on EtherCAT. I'm diving into both LinuxCNC and EtherCAT right now and excited by the possibilities. 

I ran into the same issues as discussed.  I tried your script on the Rpi 5 and it seemed to connect to their servers but it only seems to have grabbed 733 bytes. I may try some of the other methods mentioned previously.

The script just adds the Ethercat repositories/
Just folllw the steps in post 1 to install Ethercat.
