 Hello I've been trying to get the Beckhoff components to start for a few days, with very little success.What I did was set up the Raspberry 5, installed Ethercat and made my first attempts with the components.What components: EC AC Servo, EK1100 (cheap on eBay) EL1008 (also cheap)Connected:Servo slave0EK1100 Slave1Only the servo then starts my Linux configuration with various lcec pinsAs soon as the Beckhoff comes into play, it crashes.I made a test xml, can someone tell me if the structure is correct? I don't really know if the various values ​​are correct 
error fixed
 I've attached the files, I used the lathe.iniThanks

Thanks Rod, I find it rather unfortunate that somebody like you does not seem be offered write access to the 'official' install documentation. The pull request process is so sluggish that by the time new install docs might actually make it through they're already outdated.

I have tried to keep my doc current but I have not installed on a problem PC for quite a while. It has been suggested the install ISO should install the R8168 driver as it should not get in the road. Not sure on that. (I built the ISO and the Pi images for Linuxcnc).

At one stage I was asked to edit the getting Linuxcnc docs and it included most of my documentation notes you refer to. This was accepted and was published in the 2.9 docs. However, when 2.9.1 was released, this was all blown away and replaced with content based on 2.8 docs.

I think there should be a new document added that might be called something like "System Optimisation for Linuxcnc", perhaps a seperate doc for the raspberry Pi it links to. If somebody was to have a go at that from my material, I would not have a problem. Asciidoc and I are not good friends.
I almost know enough about git to be trusted with write access... but time is an issue

Hi One problem solved and one remain ,I replaced the analog optical sensor to a "digital" one and the revolution meter start to work . the reading is ok and the reading is controled with a speedometer. the other problem is the red and green LED weryfing to start the process from the G-code program  G97 S600 M3 The program start at 150 rpm and the red LED starts at 350 rev, it is mirror action , it should start at ca 450 and stopp at ca 700 revs ,it is programd with 150 % tolerans .  

This is a very quick self answered question but hope to help anyone who needs serial communication with gpio pins....

adding a new line to the endthen the port becames active( dev/ttyAMA0)

Hello. I'm using raspberry pi5 4GB with "LinuxCNC 2.9.2 Ra spberry Pi 5 OS based on Debian Bookworm ".

I have been googling but couldnt make it.

Can anyone help me for using serial port pins (GPIO14 and GPIO15) for serial communication with raspberry?

Hi,
I just downloaded linuxcnc on a raspberry PI 5 and I was wondering how can I change the keyboard layout from Qwerty to Azerty (belgian layout) ?
Many thanks for your inputs.
 

Even in english it is not very clear, but should be 2.

The English not is my native language and not really understand that sentence.
I'm not a Linux advanced user in terminal and scripts.
So, what does it mean?
1) I'm rotating the screen with Linux graphical UI and after that I have to use the script to rotate the touch.
2) The script rotates the screen and the touch together (both) in one direction. (in this case i need to return the default landscape mode)

At least that is what it says, i have not used it, i did it the old way and it is long and painful, so if this works, do report back, please.
 

You confused me...
If it will rotate both, I need to change it from portrait orientation back again to landscape and only after that use the script.
Is it correct?
Because it's now in portrait mode and the touch works not correctly. (as on the photo above)

it works fine on my Raspberry 5 after a clean install

No, it should do the rotation of both the screen and touch.

Try this, otherwise it is a mess to sift through endless posts on several forums to get the right answer, been there and done that, twice.

Do I have to return it in landscape mode before rotating it with this script?
