@John,

Maybe that's the case, but this is solvable.

I am writing some new code. We are free to change the state machine transitions for Lichuan.
Here you can see how to set states. In fact it's just a matter off setting a combination off bits in a sequence.

Currently i am waiting for a new servo drive, so my code is halted. I dont have a Lichuan here, so i can not write code for it
to solve any problems.
 

Told you, was just to sit back and wait
That milling machine looks and sounds great.

Can you share the ecat-conf.xml file you ended up with? Can help the next guy out.

And don't forget that "ethercat for dummies" post, greatly needed.

Thanks. When I use the naming in the linked config instead of the naming from docu it works!
I can see dir and step signals now on the correct pins.
One last problem before I can test with the machine. I use an enable signal for the stepper driver. I see it on the pin, but inverted. Is there a possibility to invert output pins at raspberry pi 5 or should I better do it in hardware?

It is a RPI. 
When I run the yzEllipse75.ngc, the machine encounters an error related to IMG_6867.JPG, IMG_6868.JPG, and IMG_6869.JPG.

Brilliant, that makes complete sense now. I'm a Linux noob so I'll probably ask a bunch of questions with seemingly obvious answers. I do know how to search so I try to keep it to a minimum.

it go zoom zoom now



next steps:

IO
modbus spindle control
UI

getting there.
