ethercat config question #2

Closed tlemsl closed 2 years ago

tlemsl commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm robotics engineer and working on a project using maxon motor with epos4

It's the first time i use maxon motor and ethercat So, I'm not good at dealing with ethercat.

I tried example with maxon motor setup and i got these errors Screenshot from 2022-02-16 19-34-14

So Should i need to do more configurations for ethercat? and I also wonder meaning about "Excute as root"

Thank you for reading my question and I would appreciate it if you could let me know some document or article what would be good to refer to to to use this .

Linux requires you to be root to interact with your Networking hardware.

You are likely to need to configure the setup.yaml to your own hardware setup and your object dictionaries to your firmware's specification manual.
