Support ethercat spindle?

Post by krobertson »

Does Hickory support communicating with the VFD over ethercat? There is a ethercat module for the VFD that I have, and if Hickory supported it, it would be a nice little boost to simplifying wiring even further.

From the site, with how it lists the compatible servos, it seems like ethercat is only supported for the drives.
