Looks reasonable.

One thing: never disconnect a stepper motor from the drive with the drive powered up. I don't know for sure that that will blow up a TB6600, but it's definitely not somethng that a TB6560 could survive.

Yet people still sometimes complain that there isn't enough documentation....

And it's true, I think. For example we really could so with a section on toolchangers. 
 

Is there any indication what /STV stands for? Do you have something that makes you think that's the enable? If it is, then it is shown permananently wired, which seems a little unexpected.
I think you have the polarity right.
I am not clear if that (19) 15V is an output or not, but a multimeter would answer that question.

In theory you could write a new interpreter that takes an input formato other than G-code, but I suspect that would be a very large amount of work for little to no reward.

Hi,

I finally have some succes, after a long story.

The software is already pre-configured so that linuxcnc scurve runs.

This then is a debian 12 rt distribution running:

• linuxcnc scurve
• ethercat-master
• cia402
• linuxcnc-ethercat

Download mirror:
repository.qtpyvcp.com/repo/linux-distro/

README.md

1. The readme file informs how to extract the 2 archives of type .7z.
2. The readme file informs how to proceed with the .img files.

The user has 2 choices.

1. Using .img "debian_disk" wich can be loaded into a linux vm directly.
2. Using .img "debian_raw" wich can be copied to usb and is a bootable linux distro.

I had a Vcarve licence 10 years ago. Very unhappy buying crap for big money. Finally shredded the licence and software. No pros, just cons.

Even on the other motor ports the TMCs aren't responding.
The serial output didn't change.

 

Parts have arrived, here is my understanding of the wiring per 1 stepper:
meas card needs 5V supply
TB6600 should be powered with the voltage for the steppers (12V in my case to start with).

As I understand it the connections between TB6600 and mesa should be like in my bad sketch.
