Marco Reps video on youtube about EtherCAT

I used the XML file SDOconfig option:

     <!-- Homing Config - 1 - Move to negative limit switch 23 home in place-->
      <sdoConfig idx="6098" subIdx="0">
        <sdoDataRaw data="01 00 00 00"/>
      </sdoConfig>
 

i got it! i also found it in the ethercat parameters list

now i need to compile the cia402 component. What is the most up to date method to achieve this, are you using the repo of rodw or marco reps?

Hello, I managed to install the homecomp independently, and Linux CNC also started. The servos are also enabled according to Linux CNC, but they don't go into op mode, only preop mode. When I try to jog manually, a lag error immediately occurs. What's wrong? I'm using Stepperonline A6 motors, but they're the same as the EL8, just with a different name.

"What's wrong? I'm using Stepperonline A6 motors, but they're the same as the EL8, just with a different name. "

Are you sure?

I had a look at those A6 drives, from appearance they look nothing at all like my EL8's. Similar form factor, that's about it.

Hi,
did you make any progress?
The EL8 are not at all the same as the A6, so there should be another solution...

Hi,
I have one stepperonline A6 running, just on a test bench for now but it is working well.
Internal homing of the drive is now also working, even tough i am not sure how i got that going.
I tried using the homemod from Marco two weeks ago without success, then reinstalled everything, tried it with the untested one from rod, this also did not work then halcompiled the one from Marco again and all of a sudden it worked without any issues.

The only issue i have now is that the servo is not running smooth anymore since i reinstalled LCNC and the ethercat drivers, no idea where that is coming from, but i think i read in another thread that there is a solution to that just got to find that thread again.

I can share the ini hal and xml if anyone needs that.

EDIT:
I dont think that the difference from the A6 to the EL8 is that big, both are CIA402 so both should work with the same homemod etc., correct me if i am wrong?
