Is there any readymade package with LinuxOS+RTKernel+Ethercat Master prebuilt.?
 

No, but the LinuxCNC ISO should already have everything needed for installing EtherCAT, see on of the pinned topic on this section.
EtherCAT can not be distributed in any ISO due to licensing issues, as far as i know.

I have to ask one last question. I have been working with Inkscape to develop g codes from and svg drawing. Works great and would like to use for this however I can't get the g code size to match the size in the page. I have looked all over and don't seem to get a clear answer that really works. About ready to give this up, shouldn't be this hard. Must be missing something.
Any comments greatly appreciated.

So I did have that pulled up at one point. If I remember correctly it would turn on when I hit the home button but then would stay on until after it estopped and I relatched the machine it would turn off

To check homing to index, you need to halscope the index-enable signal.
The actual index signal is often too short for halscope to see.

LinuxCNC sets index-enable once is has detected the limit switch and the hardware
clears index-enable when the index is detected.

thanks

What exactly is BuildBot?

It is a PC/server that checks and builds the debs for various version of Linux architectures, after getting stuff from github, as far as i can gather.

We should say this more often:
Awesome work and a magnificent machine.

But there is a link to 2.9.5 on the downloads page!
linuxcnc.org/downloads/
 

thanks

soooon

All squared up, few more mechanical things to do, and then a bit of electrical and getting linuxcnc to use modbus spindle control.

 

The RIP build dying is a bit funny.

What exactly is BuildBot?

It seems to be updated in a certain sense (there is recent 2.9.6 documentation available), but also abandoned (website looks about 15 years old).

And who still uses GPG keys?

Well done sir

Beware of ChatGPT.

Cool though!

The chances are slim, I sorry to say.

If someone does have experience, thery ain't talkin'.

I've found a setup on the forums using Leadshine EL8 drivers and trying to work from there. Setup I'm following.
I've attached the hal, ini and ethercat.xml files. It doesn't load, I get the following error.


Not surprising as I've pruned the file down from 5 drives and a spindle to 1, different brand drives etc.

I've used the xml file that I generated.

Am I on the right track at all?[/code][/url]

well, I got totally nerd-sniped by this, so here we go: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3587
