I'm still at the beginning of my LCNC experience, it means that any servo drive will be auto configured? If you want to make some test I can send you one, where are you located?

Hi Salame,

I live in Holland near Gorinchem and Rotterdam.
It would be great to have a servo drive and motor and test it to be auto configurated.

it means that any servo drive will be auto configured?
At this stage, i can not confirm this.
When i retrieve the info from the ethercat bus, and pdo config is made for the drive.

Then i can test the servo drive to send commands.

It would not mean every drive would have the same pdo config, these would be different,
but we can automaticly sort data out and do suggestions for that data like:

If it comes out that a servo position command is always a 64 bit value. Then we can already map this to
a position command. It's just figuring out a few things.

If it turn's out there isn't any logical explanation in the servo pdo config. Then we can add a
template for that particular servo drive vendor id.

The links are broken indeed, the source has moved to :
codeberg.org/skynet/realtime_app/src/bra...dor/ethercat_twincat

It is part of a bigger project that used opencascade.

Hi, I couldn't find a way to DM you, for personal info and driver and motor specs etc..

Hi Salame,

My contact michelwijnja@gmail.com
The mail is also visible here : codeberg.org/skynet

Thanks a lot for your proposal so far !!
It's in good hands, as it is used for development for our open source community.

That lets me localize things a bit, but could you possibly be a bit more explicit about dependencies? The version of qt6 packaged on debian 12 (current linuxcnc) seems to be too new, and it will not build:

FWIW, I rolled back to qt5 and it builds.

I can get the binary in the referred directory (

Code:

ethercat_twincat

) to build and run, but it doesn't seem to correctly identify my hardware, and I don't really understand what to do next. It seems to identify my servo driver (a Lichuan LC10-E) as a EK1100.

Code:

ethercat pdos

seems to show the correct process data objects, so I'm not sure what's going on.

If there's anything I can do to help (you want shell access? I should be able to figure something out) I'd be happy do contribute.

I also have a number of Lichuan ethercat stepper servo drivers, and a ethercat IO thingie (one of these: www.forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/52997-et...at-catio-module-help ).
