## Usage

Pull in the latest code into your local ROS2 workspace including the above mentioned _manual dependencies_.
For an example on how to use the SDK standalone take a look at the [example](https://github.com/leggedrobotics/ethercat_device_configurator/blob/master/ethercat_device_configurator/src/standalone.cpp) at the [ethercat_device_configurator](https://github.com/leggedrobotics/ethercat_device_configurator).

## Setup

### Allow your user to set priorities and niceness

The provided executables perform best when they are given higher priority than other processes.
By default, a linux user or group cannot set priorities higher than 0.
To allow your linux user account to do so, you need to append the following entries to the ``/etc/security/limits.conf`` file (replacing ````):

```
- rtprio 99
- nice -20
```

To allow your entire group to set higher priorities, append (replacing ````):

```
@ - rtprio 99
@ - nice -20
```

## Configuration files

See the setup in the `ethercat_device_configurator`: [link](https://github.com/leggedrobotics/ethercat_device_configurator/tree/master/ethercat_device_configurator/example_config)
