Experience with Moons Industries Ethercat Servo

Category: EtherCAT

Moons make very nice motors. It says its CIA402 compatible so I think you will get it working ok. There is now a cia402 driver for ethercat.

If you do add a root account by accident you can log on as root and add your user to the sudoers group by typing usermod -aG sudo your-user-name

I built you a minimal config, could work like this, maybe I mixed up RX/TX, but it's a good start

I decided to stay with 2.8. I don't really need better jitter, maybe I should spend my time on woodworking instead of software! Thanks, thread bookmarked for future reference.

If you enter a root password you create a root-account, which is what you should not do.

Leaving root password empty will automatically set up the first user account (ie the one that is usually created in the next step of the install process) to be able to use 'sudo' (with the user password), which is what you want.

If you are using the ISO on the downloads page, it had a bug in it and it was installing an old version of linuxcnc which could cause issues
I built a fixed ISO but not sure if Andy deployed it.
Then an issue arose with the ethercat security keys for their repository
I just finished building a new ISO but the ethercat is not fixed. Feel free to give it a go from my Google Drive if you are not going to use ethercat

Weiler 160 CNC Retrofit

Category: Show Your Stuff

Wow, that is a sweet machine. It sure makes sense to modernise machines like that rather than converting manual machines. If the analog drivers still work, this could be a really simple retrofit. Like I did with my Maho. Not having to touch mechanical aspects of the machine can save you a ton of time getting it up and running.

How did Weiler do the home/end switches on this one?

The EDA I'm forced to use at work is win11 based. I know I know...

However my entire dev environment aka compilers, IDEs, ect, are all Debian/linux based. No substitute

If you aren't friend with fine pitch then avoid the LV9QN88 part. Not much better than the ICE40UP5K to say the least. I'm with you though, prefer their LQFP pinouts...

Hi rodw, thanks for this hint. I havethis line in my hal file: Is that sufficient?loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10"With the following settings the connection works at once:

My ping to 10.10.10.10:

What do you think about it?

Hi
waiting for a more suitable solution

I solved it almost like zylos146.

I searched and deleted all the ethercat-dkms folders, including the .deb

then I downloaded ethercat-stable-1.6 from
gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat
followed the installation from install.md everything went well.

then I performed the standard installation here
it no longer returns errors
Hi

Not quite out of the woods. the changes were pushed to the LInuxcnc code on github.
I built a new image. The keys have been fixed but I am getting a dkms erorr so no joy.
I've updated the issue upstream, gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat/-/issues/131
so hopefully they will fix it soon. They have always beeen very good to me

WOW

very nice !!!
I recently tried to build a board with an ICE40UP5K, but I'm somehow too stupid to get it to work

The FPGA chips are just too small for me to solder them by hand.

It would be cool to have a complete rio board without having to use a plug-on devboard .

I just saw that you use Windows, rio unfortunately only runs under linux, vm is also ok, if it works in WSL I can't say unfortunately
