EthercatMaster master;
EthercatDevice_CiA402 motor;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial);
  
  master.begin(); 
  motor.attach(0, master); 
  master.start(); 
  
  motor.enable(); 
} 
void loop() { 
  Serial.print("Position: ");
  Serial.println(motor.getPositionDemandValue());
  delay(1000);
  // ...
