EtherCAT Device Configurator

Configures the EtherCAT communication with the following sdks:

• anydrive_sdk
• rokubi_rsl_ethercat_sdk
• elmo_ethercat_sdk

Any single SDK or any combination of SDKs may be used. The build system automatically builds the EtherCAT device SDKs available in the current catkin workspace.

In the future this will be changed to a plugin architecture

Building

You will need at least gcc version >= 8.4. This requires the following for devices running Ubuntu 18.04:

• install gcc-8 and g++-8: sudo apt install gcc-8 g++-8
• configure catkin in your workspace: catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++-8 -DOTHER_CMAKE_VARIABLES_YOU_WANT_TO_SET_EG_BUILD_TYPE.
