[etherlab-users] Failed to register PDO entry: No such file or directory

[Sebastien Blanchet]

Hi Thomas,

I see no obvious error in your main.c file, except that
you repeat twice ecrt_master_slave_config on line 60 and 80.

According to the comment in ecrt.h, it is safe to to call twice
ecrt_master_slave_config with the same arguments, but maybe you can try to 
remove the second call and then check if the error message changes in the dmesg 
output.

Nevertheless, if it does not change anything, it means that a SDO command is 
still missing. In this case, you should try to setup first the servo drive with 
TwinCAT. TwinCAT setup is very probably supported by the servodrive 
manufacturer. So it is a good way to know the full SDO startup sequence.

regards,
