The `al_states: 2` looks suspicious. When the slaves are working normally, they should be in state 8 (OP) instead of 2 (PREOP). This field is an OR of the state...

Can you post the result of `ethercat pdos`, `ethercat slaves -v` and `ethercat config -v` while the example is running?

Well, I'm a bit at a loss. You might also look in the dmesg for errors/warnings, maybe after calling `ethercat debug 1`? [Googling suggests](http://lists.etherlab.org/pipermail/etherlab-users/2015/002749.html) that you may need to configure...

Ah, then you probably have to configure the complete PDO (e.g. all 8 bits of 0x1600) for use in the domain. It *might* be enough to configure just index 0x7000:1...

Closing, probably out of date.

Hi, not really, other than that you could use the `pregenerated-bindings` (make sure you use the compatible version of the master), then the master is not needed at all.

As far as I know, there is no way to have `build.rs` or anything else run before the dependencies `build.rs`.

That wouldn't help since at that time `ethercat-sys/build.rs` already has run.
