Yes shure.
I try to run servo in csp, i see one big problem - moror jumping on re-enable.

I try to dual ethercat-stepper, lol ok all enabled first motor running good - when i try to rotate shaft motor not showing feedback. second axis showing normal. first axis good run - second axis max spedd 500rpm if more motor jumping.

nvm, i found myself solution in axis/pyvcp example

Does GTK_Vismach exist, or has anyone attempted to embed Qt_Vismach into a GTK window?

Which version of Linux, LinuxCNC and psng are you using?

I have done some work on psng to adapt it for Gtk3 / Python3 on Debian 12+
However, on my test machines, whilst it loads without errors, there are no graphics visible in the embedded tabs.

I'm curious, Why aren't people working on the version in linuxcnc?
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master...n-panels/versa-probe

That brings up a couple questions?

1. if the encoders have differential outputs, why in the 7I33 jumpered for single-ended (TTL) inputs

2. Leaving the TTL option enabled, can you check that grounding the INDEX+ input (encoder disconnected)
changes the state of the hal index pin (hm2_7i80.0.encoder.00.input-index for X)

You should have the servo drives switched on when you start linuxcnc.
That way linuxcnc can make them go up and down as required, and change cia402 states as required.
There is an "enable" pdo you connect to joint.amp-power-on or something like that, to enable the drive.

I think what's happening when you switch on the drives is the ethercat master spots new things on the net and
scans the bus and does some setup things for the new devices. This interrupts the cyclic operation
and I would think all slaves exits op mode for a second or two, until ethercat master is ready and the slaves
can be brought up again.

So, don't switch on and off power of the drives while active in linuxcnc.
