Squaring the gantry is done during homing and relies on the HOME_OFFSET for alignment.
It is super easy to do if you read the most important part of the documents, homing configuration
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/config/ini-homing.html
Except you will probably need to read this page 3 to 10 times....

Thanks for the help, it loaded after changing lcec name to D1 and D2, and after I commented out several lines.

ethercat slaves shows both are on OP mode, but I am sure I don't currently have enough pins defined for motion control.

I need to work out what those line problems are, some are just not defined and some are type mismatch, but I may be able to work that out.

This is a really annoying bug from Debian. This fixes it.
This was in Debian 12.1 their initial Bookworm Release and fixed in Debian 12.2 a month or so later.
But they never updated the code in thie Debian Live installer. Debian must have used a fork of this to build their images and never bothered to correct the Debian Live system.
Its not something we can fix in our ISO. We did tell the builder to exclude it and it works but as soon as you do an apt upgrade, it comes back.

 

Lcec isn't ethercat it is just an interface to ethercat, at the most a driver to use ethercat.
How well do you think your method works in this case?
Maybe if there was a detailed guide on how to set this up, and what to do in case of problem?
More than once I have wished to refer to RTFM but there isn't one.

fixed it somehow, here is what i did:

the way I connect to the mesa is from network connections I edit the network connection IPv4 setting and add a static address there 10 10 10 100, previously it had a gateway which I removed ( my other PC has this and works with it)

then I read that there is an error with the gvcp-panel.ui HAL_table.rows. I simply removed the tick for this during the pncConf wizard,

I am now able to open linuix cbc from the Launch fle on my desktop. I don't know what the gvcp does and why its buggy. but seems to be okay for now. will post later if something pops up.

Yes, a fairly ancient version of mesaflash (3.4.9)  is included with the
LinuxCNC 2.9.4 ISO, this is supposedly fixed for later releases.

I don't think mesaflash is included in V 2.9.4 in our ISOs because it is seperate to Linuxcnc and has its own Deb file.
If that is the case, 2.9.4 will just get the very early version in the Bookworm repo.
Perhaps Our Debian build system should be modified to  make mesaflash so it gets stored in our repos
