<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi everyone, so a little update to this, I've come back to this project in the new year, and got it working. Yeah!, However, now with the new licensing setup, I need a new SoftMotion license, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the previous Raspberry Pi SL license.</p> <p>Has anyone had any luck with Raspberry Pi and SoftMotion_Lite? Specifically the licensing of such? My customers new installation needs to be rebooted every 30min which is causing headaches!</p> <p>Another option is to not use the SoftMotion function blocks, and control the EtherCat amplifier directly, but I'm not sure how to do so. Does anyone have a specific example project of how to control a servo without the use of the SoftMotion function blocks?</p> <p>Thanks everyone for any assistance rendered. It's very much appreciated!</p> <ul> <li>Toby</li> </ul></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>I have a simple project with a single servo, but its my first time using Codesys and motion, so I'm a little confused and lost, I've tried to read the tutorial online, but I'm not having much luck sorry. Can I please ask for some pointers.</p> <p>I have a ComfilePi HMI (Raspberry Pi) communicating to a Omron R88D-1SN08H-ECT amplifier. Please see the attached project file (which is better for sharing, the project file, or a archive?). This file was simply for testing the motion of the servo before anything else is tested with it.</p> <p>The project simply rotates the servo 1 rotation when called for, but the speed can vary based on user input. Nothing much fancy.</p> <p>As yet, I haven't had any servo movement, no errors on the amplifier display. How do I link the motion FBs to the physical drive?</p> <p>Thank you very much for any help you can offer. I'm sorry if I'm doing something very stupid or basic and getting it wrong.</p> <p>Have a good day.</p> <p>Toby</p></div>
