[etherlab-users] Help writing my user example code

[Moritz Schappler]

Hello Lucas,

I am not sure to what "code syntax" you refer to. I think it is best to
start with a basic Simulink model to read/write all the slave data.
So I guess you would "write code" in Simulink using function blocks. So:

  *

    |/opt/etherlab/bin/ethercat pdos --skin etherlab|||

  *

    |create matlab functions from that|

  * |create a simulink model with either generic slave blocks pointing
    to these Matlab functions or use pre-defined Beckhoff slave blocks,
    if applicable|
  * |you have to configure the slave blocks according to your
    configuration, which you read out with the `ethercat pdos` command|
  * |you have to create a test manager application to see the signals of
    the Simulink model|

I wrote a basic tutorial for my team, unfortunately in German, but the
code should stand for itself:

  *

    |a few commands to start working:
    https://github.com/SchapplM/etherlab-examples/blob/master/README.MD#eigene-modelle-erstellen|

  * Basic model to read out one slave:
    https://github.com/SchapplM/etherlab-examples/tree/master/ixxat

Perhaps this helps you.

Best regards,

Moritz
