Hi all,

For info.
The distro is updated to use Debian 13 and linuxcnc scurve + ethercat.
There where some problems to get ethercat running on linuxcnc, these are now solved.

repository.qtpyvcp.com/repo/linux-distro/

The debian-disk.img.7z is to use directly in qemu vm.
The debian-raw.img.7z is to be copied to usb.
 

So nothing i can do against it right now? :/
 

Thanks! I will look there and see if i can get any wiser.

Edit: Look at that. Now the compensation follows work offset with those changes. Cool. Only the positive coordinates thing left then.

Ok much appreciated.
It's 2:45am I best be getting some sleep.
Guess I'll swap the eeprom.

I will be back at work in a few weeks, and i can look up the manuals for it then. These older ones can be tricky to find digitally, but sometimes one gets lucky.

I am pretty sure the drives need to be in ethercat OP state before they start to act on cia402 commands/changes.
Read/write of PDOs is only in OP state. You can read and write SDOs with "ethercat upload/download " to modify config in PREOP.
lcec and ethercat-conf.xml should bring the slaves to OP state.

Debugging tool is apart from the normal text output from linuxcnc, the system log;
"sudo dmesg" for recent messages and "journalctl" for the history.
Ethercat server puts out quite some informational, warnings and error messages there.
Debug output can be had with the "ethercat debug 1" but then the problem is to decipher that. "ethercat debug 0" resets.
