[AUTOMATIC] [XML] [HAL] [INI] [GENERATORS] [ETHERCAT] [LICHUAN]

Hi all,
I’d like to share a set of programs for automatically generating LinuxCNC configuration files for EtherCAT setups.
Also presentation:
From LinuxCNC 2.9.8 Debian13 Installation via EtherCat Master to the First Motor Movement.

Github repository contains:
1.Linux installation and setup
2. XML generator
3. HAL generator
4. INI generator
5. DOS-style to UNIX line ending converter
6. Example configuration for XYZ
7. Example configuration for XYYZ

github.com/szolkaa/Automatic-linuxcnc-co...rators-for-ethercat/

Thank you.
Should we make this "sticky"?
We would appreciate feedback on this.

Hi Szolkaa
I own two Lichuan closed loop ethercat controllers. One with 4 motors, one with 1 motor.
Technical specs:
- Lichuan CL57E-4A (4 x closed loop)
- Lichuan OLCE-57H (1 x closed loop)

I tried your genius configuration tool. By importing the xml I get an error. 
Did you see any chance to get the both controllers running with linuxcnc?
Greetings Lars
