Replied by rodw on topic Ethercat random jitter fix
This is great news. There has been a lot of ethercat related development activity driven by grandixximo on both Linuxcnc and the linuxcnc-ethercat hal driver. When a few more things come together, I will be refreshing my ISO's which will put everything on the one ISO.
Its great that Grandixximo is now the owner of the linuxcnc-ethercat repository and he's implemented a number of changes with more in the pipleine. He's also got a PR with LinuxCNC that will provide a "hook" in linuxCNC to allow synchronizing the servo thread with Ethercat before the servo thread starts which should further improve results and perhaps remove that little squeak even..
Thank you for your endorsement of my kernel tuning optimizations. Its very valuable feedback being able to state Trixie (Ddebian 13) is as good as Debian 10 once tuned. Having a system that queries your PC as it is optimised has reduced manually tuned jitter by 50% in my testing. I have never been very rigorous about this testing as it needs to be installed on hardware and I have to stuff around compiling a wifi driver every times so its easy to loose data but it seems to improve with every iteration as its given me a place to record every new optimisation I unearth.
At risk of upsetting some, you can find out more about my optimisations on my Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@MrRodW or the companion website mrrodw.au/
