(Repeated warnings about unmatched datagrams...)
Based on a cursory review, I speculate that the first system might be using a compatible version of the EtherCAT protocol with the slave devices (drivers), whereas the second system might be utilizing a newer version of the protocol that is not fully compatible with the older version supported by the slave devices.

Additionally, the "UNMATCHED" warnings seem to persist throughout the operation in the second system, indicating potential issues with data packet matching or communication synchronization. Note that I haven't included all the printouts, but the frequent occurrence of these warnings suggests ongoing communication issues.

Excellent let me know of any bugs please.

Did you see the docs?
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/panelui.html
and AXIS has a sample configuration:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/2.9/co...im/axis/panelui-demo
It's been a while since playing with it but I'll try to help.

HEXFET, TrenchFET, Epitaxial FET, .... damn i am getting old and this time i am not blaming it on being 3:15AM right now, there are many more types of MOSFET's, and almost all have flyback diodes, you can spend days sifting through catalogs to find any that does not
That is not the point at all, it is to show you how much we have to refrain here when we reply, ...
Again not the point, ....
The point is, do some reading and checking and rechecking before wiring and powering on stuff.
Take Unknowns advice, take a step back to reassess things.
As for TB6600 i have used the original ones and the smaller "not TB6600 despite being named so" and the "not TB6600" are much better and do not die at random. And can be found cheaper at 12-15$ a piece. Might have issues with DIP switches triggering from vibrations, though.

Thanks, I tried the Merge circles, with the same outcome as before. I also found a test in the manual “isFullCircle()”, which returns False for this hole and true for all of the others. Should I try redrawing the hole or is the issue more so with the CAM processing? Maybe I should just keep testing different files and see how often this issue actually happens. Not a big deal to hand mark and drill this part, but more so just want to understand how to potentially resolve it he underlying issue and improve the robustness of the post processor.

ok, i dont know what the issue was, but it works now. i see the slave.......

what next?
need a wizard

ok so that was wifi. i switched back to the other... and now i see my slave. i dont really know what i did wrong before, but now we can start moving forward

yay
thanks

Been reading this for while, I think you need to reassess what you think you know compared to what you actually know.
Usually the stepper drivers are pretty hardy, the ones I have in my mill are about 15 years old and haven't missed a beat.
I've never heard of anyone having to make modifications.
Some of the early TB6600 drivers weren't as reliable as they should have been, no experience with them myself but many reports of them being that way.
So just settle down, do things the recommended way and don't try to modify things that don't require modification. And if you still insist of doing board level mods consult the data sheets for the components that will be affected. I'm sure this would have resolved the issue of "no flyback diodes".

Yes, I am using GMOCCAPY UI, but I have just checked QTDragon_HD, and it looks really cool! I might be tempted to make a switch at some point. I am completely new to LinuxCNC, got it all up and running last week after pulling my hair out after experiencing multiple bugs with Mach3 and EC300(digital dream) controller. I have to say I am super happy, LinuxCNC is soooooo much better than Mach3.

switched to the second one which i thought was the wifi.. now it says link up. still no slaves though
