What does it do?
How does the process work?

Without a detailed description, I wouldn’t test the script—my servos are too valuable to me to risk it.
 

use the source?
* reads parameters (SDOs) with 'ethercat upload' and displays them in an editable table
* writes SDOs with 'ethercat download'
* monitors following error with halcmd

I tried the windows-program from stepperonline (with a USB cable to the drive) and it does similar things, with something similar to halscope for plotting following-error etc, but this tuning-script is more convenient as it talks over ethercat to the drive while linuxcnc is running. No automation for actually finding the gain parameters, that still has to be done manually e.g. following the post by StepperOnline above.

I really like this new style! But i would also do all of the axis the same style, so no A and B in smaller font and in different columns, instead all digits lining up. Maybe make the G54 and DTG the same font size as X,Y,Z.

Is there anyway to test this already or was this just a mockup?

Yes, that's the one for the lathe.
They also have one for the mill,
which is very similar.
It costs 200 USD plus shipping and communicates with LinuxCNC over RS485.
I wrote a HAL client driver for it, which I just open sourced:
github.com/LiNC-CNC/cnc-panel-rust
This repo also has a python HAL driver.

Do you use this control panel? If so, could you please let me know how much it costs and how it communicates with LinuxCNC?

I need two ports so that I can dedicate one to EtherCAT and the other to Ethernet Mesa. 

Anyway, here is a photo of the M.2 network card from AliExpress that I tried using.
Right after I installed it, the PC froze on the very first reboot.
After that, I managed to successfully configure the card for EtherCAT and even saw the slave devices. I was thrilled and decided to connect the Mesa card to the built-in onboard network port to test them running together. As soon as I plugged it in, the computer suddenly rebooted. 

Following that, the M.2 card disappeared from the system completely. I double-checked the physical connection, and it showed up again, but the glitches kept happening. In the end, I just pulled it out and threw it into a drawer. 

In theory, there is another option: installing a network card into the NVMe M.2 slot instead of the Wi-Fi slot. The power delivery there should theoretically be better than on the Key-E Wi-Fi slot, but I am really not sure about that approach since it would require buying either an adapter or a completely new card, and the end result would still be highly questionable.

Hello I am very new to everything so I don't know much

I have downloaded the rpi image from download page and installed it with Raspberry Pi Image app and I found my latency and histogram very bad.
I had installed linuxcnc a long while ago with the same stuff it was bookworm then so I was very worried and though I might just go back to that image but I notice something on histogram it said no_isolcpus. which I remember that I read that core 2,3 should be isolated so I googled how and isolated them and the latency became much better.

I took a screen shot of the histogram but it was saved in tmp /media/kunena/emoticons/

If you just need to add an ethernet port for general networking and internet, just use an inexpensive USB dongle. (Not sure about options for a 2nd real time capable ethernet port.)

I've received the DA-3605 module (4 channels, +/-10V). Couldn't pass it up — it was brand new, sealed, and cost me only $23. Now, to complete the setup, I just need to find the encoder modules. While I'm looking for them, I want to try running a combined Mesa + EtherCAT setup. 

I tested an Intel i226-based network card from AliExpress on my Lenovo M710q, installed in place of the Wi-Fi module. Unfortunately, the connection was unstable, so I think I need to look for a different solution. 

Does anyone know of a proven, ready-to-go solution for adding a second network port to a Lenovo M710q?

Unfortunately, I only have one. The supplier has sent me another EtherCAT board for the MH300 to see if that is the source of the problem.
Delta has indicated that this is a bug; on other CNC systems, they use a flag to disable the Product ID check, which avoids this issue. Is there a way to do this in our XML file?
