I'm trying to get my Scara to work with Ethercat too. However, so far in 3 months the only progress has been in finding the slave on the Raspberry Pi4 terminal.
How do I configure the LinuxCNC software from scratch so that the Scara robot can run with Ethercat? Could you give me some guidance?
Hello bertoldo,
I have no experience with Raspberry Pi. I do with Laptop + Debian 12 RT kernel + LinuxCNC
Here is my files for SCARA with Gmoccapy demo.
You just need to revise EtherCAT "xml" file to meet your real motor servo controller.
Hope you find it helpful.
Tks.
So, I still haven't been able to move forward.
I haven't been able to properly understand how Linux CNC works... so I'm following the tutorials here but without a knowledge base, that's what's holding me back now.
Would you be interested in doing some consulting to help me? Because I have to hand it in at college and I can't do it.
I can move the servo motors manually and see their position. However, I don't want to have to go to home because the encoders are absolute. The image of the side screen doesn't appear on mine either... I don't know where I can adjust the ratio because I have a reducer. I also couldn't move it automatically once.
