Ethercat drive configuration woes

I did look at the Leadshine drives, and they appear to have more functionality, but I was put off by the price for what is essentially just a test setup before committing to an EtherCAT servo setup.
Plus the fact it took Leadshine several days to respond to a price enquiry for some servo drives, and I still haven't had a reply with prices, yet I can always rely on Lichuan for a next day response.

I have had a look through the Leadshine manual (Always better than a Lichuan one!), and they are using different registers, and have more information LEDs on them.


I'm almost reaching the point of asking if there are any UK regulars who'd like a drive to try and get working, as I've spent days on this now.
I did finally get movement earlier, but I've not been able to repeat that :/

I had a similar response from Leadshine and Lichuan was the right price and I received it 10 days after I ordered here in Australia from china which these days is a modern miracle

Mwoah.. not sure the leadshine manuals or software are any better. I'm giving some feedback to my distributor during my testing, and let's say that the "alpha" stage the software and manuals are in is justified...

Config files are attached, in case I've missed something blindingly obvious.

I'm taking a look and comparing with mine.

Maybe a dumb remark from my side. but you do know you are referencing a different XML file in your HAL (conf.xml) then the one you attached here (conf_2022-12-06.xml)?

I had issues uploading the files, so I'm assuming the forum software added the date to the name.

They definitely don't have the dates on the actual computer.
If they did, loading the xml would generate an error and stop LinuxCNC from loading.
