Linuxcnc is the motion controller. You don't need two motion controllers. I don't think we can help. Your question is off topic. Please raise another thread.
Probably the wrong place to post this but those in the knowledge of EtherCAT may see it here!..
My Question:-
I have a perfectly good Parallel port system that has been running for years on Wheezy with LinuxCNC 2.8 (I know...I know...but it works perfectly) Now I would like to ruin it with a 4th axis (5th joint) running on a Ethercat Driver..
Can any of you think of a reason this won't work?
If this looks viable I will start a new thread to document my progress for anyone that wants to upgrade a good Parallel port (G540) system with extra functionality.
Edit: I Should RTFM... new plan, testing on a separate PC with debian 10, so I don't mess up my wheezy install.
Running through the how to....one question...when is an appropriate time to plug in the hardware?
