I upgrade from bookworm to trixie & ethercat work fine

I checked the ethercat repo and they had one for Debian_12 and one for Debian_Testing (trixie's pre-release name) I think the igh sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d should be changed to this. The easiest way would  be to download and edit my script in a Ethercat sticky.

Yup your instructions are great, went from bookworm to trixie no problems,

-it's /etc/apt/sources list
And the grub command is something else as well, do grub- then tab, it's one of them.

Great feedback, yes I fixed the sources.list path.
And the grub-customizer command.

I was reading on Phoronix today that Trixie has higher performance in some things than Bookworm. I feel a bit cheated really. I am using Cinamon desktop and nothing has changed!

Big OOPsie,   I just assumed that the Clearpath servos had absolute encoders.    THEY DON'T.
    I thought i wanted absolute encoders....  at least for the end product.   
i have a friend with a Full size WEB mill and he runs steppers,   I don't think he is in love with them,  but he has not changed them out either.

     RodW i think you are correct for a first machine,   unfortunately I only have one CNC mill.   and i dont' really want to buy a learner set of servos or steppers and then have to replace them to get a good accurate part.    That is why i was wanting to start off with ONE used small clearpath servo, and not just buy a whole set without trying one first.
     
For easy and simple the clear path  SD do seem ok.   And i don't know if i agree with you on the overpriced part,   i just looked at some steppers and by the time i get a stepper and a drive they are pretty close to the clearpath price,   It did seem like the steppers may be more powerfull for the size, is that true??
    Also I am not buying NEW NEW clearpath.   There are lots of new open box or slightly used Clearpaths for sale ,   which also makes me  wonder why so many are for sale???  

i read the thread    " some advice and opinion of the Clearpath servos",    now i need to look into that further.

Too much reading tonight  and not much closer to a servo decision
