Hi everyone, I’d like to share a long-standing issue I encountered and the solution I found. The problem began when I tried to connect an EtherCAT panel to LinuxCNC. During the configuration process, the slave device remained stuck in the ‌PREOP‌ state and failed to enter ‌OP‌ (Operational state). This was caused by manually configuring certain PDO files, which led to unrecognized settings. The fix was to set configPdos="false" in the configuration. Apologies for my poor English—the original text was translated using software. For reference, I’ve also attached an image showing the LED activation (see attached image). Hope this helps anyone facing a similar issue!

I tested it. The problem is solved. I'll corect my post for automatical addition right P value, but it's interesting task, how calculate it.
And another question. How can I make deb package with new planner?

Hello,I would like to ask if anyone has a CamWorks post processor for LinuxCNC.

The LinuxCNC wiki page lists post processors, but the download links are no longer working. Would anyone be able to re-upload them or share them with me?

Additionally, I noticed that some forum members mentioned having a CamWorks post processor for lathes. If available, it would be great to add this to the wiki for others to find more easily.


Since the basic SOLIDWORKS license includes an integrated version of CamWorks, I believe the post processor should be named CamWorks (SOLIDWORKS) for better visibility.


I appreciate any help and a possible re-upload. Thanks in advance!
