Comment

This function must be called after a successful execution of EthercatMaster::begin(). This function is non-blocking and can be called in callback functions if the related object is mapped to PDO.

Example Code

#include "Ethercat.h"

EthercatMaster master;
EthercatDevice_CiA402 motor;

void setup()
  { Serial.begin(115200); 
  while (!Serial);
   
  master.begin();  
  master.begin(); motor.attach(0, master);
   
  Serial.print("Operation Mode: ");
  Serial.println(motor.getCiA402Mode());
  }
void loop() {
 // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}
