hi  fdarling ,
Could you share the driver or your modifications to lcec to make a Yaskawa Sigma7 EtherCAT drive to work?
I could get the c file in your tar to compile and I could get the actual position display from a Yaskawa Sigma7 drive on the screen.
The question I have it how to integrate the two domain requirement into the lcec_main.c component.
Hope you can guide me on this.
Thanks,

HI Fdarling,
I actually tried to modify lcec to work with Yaskawa Sigma7 EtherCAT drive looking at the C program you have shared. I have had a little success.
I added a second domain (domain2) into lcec master but at the same time removed the write Pdos (status, actual_pos) from the lcec XML file. So the domain2 is empty pdos.
After doing this, I could enable the drive using drivecontrol regs. Although I cannot read anything from the drive (ofcourse).
Now the next step is to figure out how to add which domain to use information in the pdo configuration. I am going to try to make it backwards compatible.
I am open to all suggestions and any assistance on how to go about this task.
