Yes, I am using GMOCCAPY UI, but I have just checked QTDragon_HD, and it looks really cool! I might be tempted to make a switch at some point. I am completely new to LinuxCNC, got it all up and running last week after pulling my hair out after experiencing multiple bugs with Mach3 and EC300(digital dream) controller. I have to say I am super happy, LinuxCNC is soooooo much better than Mach3.

switched to the second one which i thought was the wifi.. now it says link up. still no slaves though

only one network port on this machine plus the wifi for the internet.
I *think* im using the right one. haha. I dont see how i cant be.

dmesg spits out 10000 things. last one mentions lan at 100base though

Mac address and generic driver.
Two network interfaces and you picked the wrong one? Has never happened to anyone...
Ethercat master prints in /var/log/messages. Have a look there or at the end of the huge output of "sudo dmesg" for signs of why it won't use the network interface

so yes, that would have included typing in the MAC in that file per instructions

checked that file again. seems fine. reran enable, start, status... nothing changes.

 

I did only what the instructions said up to the point of typing ethercat slaves.

Quick update and correction.

It seems that changing the Makefile.inc isn't necessary as it gets rebuilt as part of the run.

So looking at ./debian/configure I see the option for no documents is 'no-docs' and this works.

./debian/configure no-docs
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc

-b option doesn't seem to matter.

I'll do some more digging into the fortify issue to see if I can find a better solution and to understand the DEBUG question lingering in my miind.

Cheers

Link down. Did you customize /etc/ethercat.conf ?

from ethercat master.... seems maybe its not working at the network card level. What did i break? haha
