Hello, I've created a first implementation of a sercos softmaster for machinekit based on that <http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sercos-softmaster-core>.
You can get some Information and first results here https://github.com/aschiffler/linuxcnc-sercos3 https://youtu.be/Sw9DAKn6hoY I have also tested this on a Raspbery Pi3 but this device has no "real" Ethernet controller so in fact this did not work probably (realtime capabilities). Now I need help or hints according several topics - Implementation of something like a config application or XML parser like the EtherCAT Driver for MachineKit (act. config is fixed coded) - How to set up a realiable build config / make files because the main part of the code (Sercos-Softmaster-Core) is hosted on sourceforge an includes no build files; What is about RTAI/LinuxCNC? - Testing any feedback about other experiences or requirements (jitter, functionality,....) - Feedback / Discussion whether this Sercos3 Driver is senseless or has big potential... I think the potential of sercos3 is that common Ethernet packets can be routed through the same physical cables/switches without having some like EOE (EtherNet over EtherCAT). Perhaps see the introduction here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SERCOS_III> Best Regards Andreas -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
