so, the moment of victory was very short. i followed the instructions to the letter, did some corrections when needed and had the first signs of a lcnc-ethercat system coming alive (that was last week) yesterday i wanted to continue but i only got the error screen from linuxcnc telling me that it closed down because some pin doesn't exist ... cia402 pin... wanted to share xml and hal and ini and screenshot but after writing the reply at work with all attachments ... it refused to submit... waited half hour to submit... nothing happened.
so, here's what i have for hardware :
1 rtec IO 1616
1 rtec ECR86 for X
1rtec ECR86 for Y
2 wantai nema 34 steppers (60V-3.5Amp) {these steppers eat almost 6 amps in real-life}
had every sign that the install was complete last week ... saw a lot of lcec pins in the halmeter. actually was able to turn on an output on the IO card. yesterday nothing . no lcec pins, only error screen about this cia402 pin does not exist...
of course i already tried to do everything possible ... reload this, reconfig that, recompile this... for some reason i can't the lcec pins back like i had last week...
