And Ethercat now it can be installed without breaching licenses
And how to optimise later distributions

Hi Giovanni !

Step #1     I misread that as python3-lxml being already installed with the install of Linuxcnc.      Wrong of course and caused problems

Step#3     I didn't know where to expand the zip file.      Later I seen it didn't matter moved to the gladevcp folder

Step #5   "sudo ln "   I misread that as a upper case I at first.    

Step #8   I misread   {XID}  as (XID)  which also caused problems

Misc:    aux_gladevcp  should be changed to gladevcp as already mentioned

Much of the problems were due to me printing out the instructions and the pdf being in a quite small font which lead to me misreading some things.   A larger font would help here.

Thanks again for all your work !!

Hi all,

I've changed my setup to use an ethernet-based Mesa board rather than a PCI slot one. As a result, I have the old 5I25 Superport board which I have no use for. $10 for postage and its yours. Send me an email if you're interested.

If disconnecting motor from drive while powered on:
-TB6560 will die
-TB6600 will die
-TB6600 that is not TB6600 will most probably survive
The last ones use TB67S109 chip inside despite being named TB6600, it is much better but can do a bit lower current.
I have over 20 of the TB67S109 in daily use, the only issue i had with them is the DIP switches on 4 of those would switch at random from vibrations, so i soldered them.
