linuxcnc 2.9.2 ethercat problem

I am a newbie to linuxcnc but I think you are also a newbie to these forum topics. What is a forum and what is it for? Why do people write to forums? If no one will help me and solve my problem, what is the need for a forum?

Hello,
I am not going to advertise any CNC here right now. But if I have to explain, there are 2 brands. I will explain

I really wonder why this forum exists if there is no one here to help even add a password?
or if no one will help and do this, then you should state this on the forum. You should write the following: "No one does anything for anyone else here. Do not expect anything from anyone. You should do everything yourself."

IIRC, the Ethercat people just did a major version upgrade after literally years of leading up to it. We should probably either pin LCEC to v 1.5.x or see what it takes to fix whatever upgrade problems are happening. I'll take a look at it later today if possible.
 

Several things happened at the Ethercat people's palace.
1. They rolled out the new 1.6 version of Ethercat
2. Their repository keys expired preventing us from installing Ethercat
3. They had a bug in their code that builds the DKMS (kernel part of) Ethercat

This is now all resolved. Their keys will expire in another 2 years.

rodw is very helpful to everyone regarding ethercat. Those who use ethercat should pray that nothing happens to him, otherwise you may not be able to install ethercat one day.

People were using Ethercat with Linuxcnc well before I got involved. I just made it easier by joining a few dots so they don't need to build from source and incorporating the great work by Scott Laird into one place.

Some bugs take time to resolve and in this instance they were not in Linuxcnc's control.
You can download a new ISO with the changes from my Google Drive
drive.google.com/file/d/1gEQzgHsj_LjHiGB...k1Z/view?usp=sharing
I have asked the devs to update the ISO on the downloads page with this.

I have tested this ISO and the installation process this morning and I can see my slaves

Maybe I wasn't clear but my test was with the new Ethercat version 1.6 which now installs from repositories (if you have the new keys)

I buy and use professional devices, I pay money for these devices. I only shared this to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Because I can't do something I did a week ago a week later. For example, who can guess that something that worked a week ago won't work a week later. And since I worked it before, I could start a new job thinking it would work again and I could be disappointed. My aim is to prevent others from falling into these situations.

You really have an unrealistic view of Open source.
This has been fixed today 5 days after I became aware of the issue, during that time,  a lot happened.
1. Issue tested by me.
2. Bug report filed by me with etherlabmaster (5 days ago)
3. Bug was marked as fixed  4 days ago  by etherlabmaster and they kindly pushed changes to the Linuxcnc git repo
4. I asked Linuxcnc devs to  accept the changes 
5. Changes accepted into our git repo
6. I cloned and rebuilt ISO
7. New 1.6 Debs from etherlabmaster refused to install
8. I updated my earlier bug report
9. Bug marked resolved by etherlabmaster today
10 I tested the fix today, confirmed now working
11. I asked devs to deploy a new ISO to the downloads page.

Given what has happened to fix this, I think this is a very reasonable outage.
I pay for software that takes at least 2 weeks before they respond to a bug report so 5 days with open source is way faster than many commercial software services. You have to remember we are scattered all around the world so time zones become significant.

If you don't like the support you received, perhaps Linuxcnc is not for you.

 

你不行不代表别人不行

If it weren't for you it wouldn't have been solved so quickly. Updating Ethercat may not be under Linuxcnc's control, but I think that such important files, versions and packages that were running in the past should be preserved or backed up. I appreciate your support and you serve the purpose of the Forum's existence.

5 days is not a very long time, but when I wrote to the forum yesterday, the problem was not solved. If the problem was solved, I wouldn't write these.
I've been working on this project for 1 month.
I have opened a few topics on the forum for a few days.
90% of my project is completed.
I don't want free support from anyone
I met and befriended the saints. I don't know his name on the forum, thanks to him the project is 90% completed.
I asked for help from him for a fee, but he devoted his hours to me free of charge and contacted me remotely many times.
Even if he does not ask for a wage, he will definitely be rewarded for his labor when the project is completed.
Evidence of my pursuit of paid support is the Instagram message I sent you in the past. If you check your Instagram message, you will understand that I do not want free support. As a last resort, I wrote to the forum for free support.
and I think some friends here don't know what the purpose of this forum is.

What we have done so far: (maybe simple things for you, but difficult things for me)
1-linux installation (not easy for someone who has not done this before)
2-Servo control is completed with ethercat.
3-Remote I/O modules completed with ethercat
4-Modbus Tcp comleted
5-Automatic file reading worked quickly because it is a feature of gmoccapy.
6-Linuxcnc can be controlled by Windows in a local network without internet.
7-A common folder was created between Linux and Windows so that g codes were automatically sent to Linuxcnc.
I shared the remaining few issues in the forum. If there is anyone who can provide paid support on these issues, you can contact me and I am ready to pay a fee.
