[etherlab-users] ep2338

[Dusty Clark]

What Gavin said is true. Start with building/installing the master, and
have a look at the examples. Attached is a little C application that does
what you want with several slaves using stdin/stdout; it wasn't written by
me but a co-worker.

Connect it up to a Linux pipe and voila! you'll have a way to use another
language of your choice (we use Java and Python) to talk to the ethercat
hardware.

Good luck!
