Yes more info is needed. I think you had that type of problem before, endian?

There is one setting. After reading through the esi file I see there is only DC sync supported, no async or sm sync.
Add this line to the xml file after the     <slave idx="0" line

Edit. You already have that. It's early...

I think Intel is now promoting PREEMPT_RT and have their own optimized RT kernel so the linuxcnc/ethercat stuff is just a tutorial for their users...

Thanks for the documentation and this details, I'll read it carefully.

As for G-code, I'll have to delve deeper into it; for now, I'm far from mastering it.

I put a simple stepper motor in the last row to show visitors that it can drive Ethercat motors along with stepper /dir motors.

Doesn't anyone use a rotary axis anymore, and does no one know what the problem might be?

Not really, it's codes in Python in the vtk, and any updates will over write your edits.

Because there are different methods to measure diameter and different toolsetter types, it's a very per situation basis. You just need to write in the macro code for it. There is allot of previously functionality for it already in basic. Start by reading the rs274ngc code documents and looking over the existing subroutines for probing. It's really not too difficult if you have a decent gcode understanding. Nothing like writing program python for example.

The manual is short, look at the section reviewing subroutines. I have attached it for your reference. Also view the linuxcnc docs section regarding owords.

You are welcomed, and i am glad.
As for edgy, have you seen my shops? I am edgy all the time, one of them is organized chaos:

The other is in much better condition:

Thanks. I'm almost solving this problem and finalize my project. After that, I'm planning to share my "Lichuan-EtherCAT" project .

Yes, but you did learn something, so not wasted.
Report back when making chips.

Hi all!

well i would like to change the toolpath colors in probe basic... is there any "easy" way to do that?

i´m on the Probe Basic stable channel... on LinuxCNC 2.97

and a second question... i read about "multitool color" what does it mean?

thanks for helping...

cheers

Hi Hakan, I got busy but I got some time today to try this. The drive is still not switching to OP

I am getting the same result with both the pdoindex

very nice, why not ethercat for all 9 motors?
Do you have a link to the ethercat I/O boards?
