To be honest, I was unable to follow you along. "every odd" ?

I have since made some progress. After moving to Firmware 2.10 and hence Drive Manager 2, I managed to get a setup going, that allows me to enable move CW and CCW. However, scaling is way off.

Sending a move of 5° results in roughly 375-390° on the output side.
   

Any ideas?

Dear All,

Does anyone have information that the KINCO FD425-EF-000 drive works with linuxcnc? On Ethercat?
Is there an xml file provided by the manufacturer, can I use that?
I haven't connected an Ethercat device to the machine under Linuxcnc yet.

Regards

Is there a new link to the video? 

Having an interesting issue:

I am in the process of moving from my old PC to a Laptop with LinuxCNC. I have riocore up and running and can flash, ping,... from the laptop. However, the machine is not moving. I see that the inputs work.

Then I tried to copy the complete riocore folder from the old PC to the Laptop as well. Exactly the same files, just another machine. No difference, only inputs are working.

The wiring is correct as the machine works on the old pc.

Any idea what to look for?

ah great! i managed to get connection to the mesa card and wifi simply through the sudo menu-config . like i said, i had gone through all the posts mentioned above, but going through them with index page you mentioned helped quite alot. now i can ping the card at 10.10.10.10 and get responses.

my next question is,

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.100
netmask 255.255.255.0

is sufficient in the interface file or shall i also add

hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0 after netmask? and whats the significance of this line? Thanks again!

As the image is there is no root password, it is too easy to mess up the system when using root. As I stated in my first post you need to use sudo. It would be best for you to search to how to use the sudo command for tasks that require elevated privileges.
Teaching one how to use Linux is not something that I am willing to do on the forum and quite frankly there are many quality tutorials on the net.
This one www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#debian-handbook whilst it maybe for an earlier version of Debian it is a good start, and you should be able to find something in your native language.
