Thanks Chris, I thought that was a standalone widget. Thanks for the info.

No the EL6021, modbus is usually RS-485 signalling. Not so different from RS-232 but differential signals.
Edit. The USB to RS-485 is a much better option in this case to avoid the vertical learning curve.

Thx for your help!
You mean the EL6001? The lasting question would be how to tell ethercat to send the modbus data via the module. As an absolute newbie to ethercat and Linuxcnc it seems to be a very steep learning curve.

If you want to use a traffic light, these symbols should be there:

My opinion is, that the symbols are wrong in other themes. Original was turtle/hare.

Is possible change text only for some themes?

It is not underpowered for stepper systems, might be for servo systems, so not the cause of following errors for steppers, but might be for servo systems.

I don't know why, but we can try to find out why.

Can you replace the lines that creates all the input pins and out pinswith "complexentry", there are several examples above in the file.
Do you still get the shift?

That may be so but the other two icon themes to not use the turtle/hare symbol.

Please NO

It is a common designation:

From what I read the EL6021 could perhaps work. Ethercat master will create a virtual serial port over which modbus is communicating.
IgH Ethercat master supposedly supports virtual serial ports when compiled with the right option. But I have no idea of how to set this up in linuxcnc context. I mean it will be a virtual serial port so the standard mb2hal etc are used, but to set up the virtual serial port?.

Thanks for the update!

- I would VERY much like  a column for rotation in the offset table instead of having just the currently active 'Rot' value.
- I would suggest to rename the  column 'Offset Name' to 'Comments' and have it's values empty by default. That would be more consistent with the tool table.
- I would suggest to change 'G92' to 'G52/G92' as those parameter values are actually shared by the two offsets.

 

the stepper-ninja-w5500.uf2 is the file you need if you make like this.

the pico only is not enough, you need a w5500 module also, or a W5100S-EVB-PICO
