Ethercat auto configurator.

To much time with Blender?
I foresee a lot of happy people, thanks to you.

Hi Tommy,

Thanks.

No blender is used so far !

What you see are original qt widgets.

I foresee a lot of happy people, thanks to you.
Maybe. Hahah.
A lot off people are also happy with you, including me. image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png
But most won't see the source code as we are hosted on codeberg.
This is a non profit organisation from Berlin Germany.

The source code so far:
codeberg.org/skynet/nodelib#readme
 
Good night all folkes.

The ethercat auto configurator app is now able to perform logical operations. Like a plc.
Made a example timer widget. That sends pulses to the ethercat output ports.
The pulse has a high- and low time.

There is a easy way to create your own logical widgets. Creating a new widget cost's about 15 minutes of your presious time.
There is a QCustomWidget example widget that shows you how to do it.

We can use all kind of widget's here.

Project source

Added a scope widget. Maybe add cool widgets. Have seen flight simulator widgets 

Hi Grotius,

Nice Work!  I think you would have to implement support for vendor ESI files in order to auto configure/point-and-click more complex devices like servo drives, vfds, etc.  or would still need to use something like TwinCAT development environment for the initial setup.  Otherwise I don't think IgH ethercat master will be able to retrieve the PDOs from the slave devices and user would have to still manually try to configure with SDOs which is hit and miss for some devices...not sure if that's IgH master or linuxcnc-ethercat but seems to have something to do with EoE not working and being enabled by default in IgH master.  @Endian was able to solve the SDO config by disabling EoE in his IgH master I think.

hi,

if you are building ethercat-master from source... there is possibility to disable eoe on master during ./configure script for example
but I am fighting with them right now to install non generic driver because in responsitories is only generic possible ..
