Hi,
i am finishing the retrofit but
one thing makes me crazy and i do not know why ?
i use the G43 H x = tool number in the script but (i attach the script )

At the verry first iteration it doesn't work i have to use at MDI G43 H1 for instance ?

I use 2.6.3 so if anyone has encountered same behavior any hint welcome

thx
thomas
Here a video of the change

are you setting a default to start with , i presume until you change a tool once or issue a tool change to start with
it does not know what to work from .so may need a pocket or tool initiation on start up .

i use a modified io control that feeds back the tool number from the encoder on the carousel
and just a standard m6t6 for example

I don't know if this it related, but up to very recently tool_prepare_pocket was meaningless for nonrandom toolchangers.

I wonder if a SHUTDOWN hal file ( www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini_co...id_sub_hal_section_a ) to unload the tool would be useful to set the system into a known state? Admittedly a HAL file isn't the ideal vehicle for starting a tool change. (you would need it to unlink the toolchanger pins then set them to known values.And I don't know if it would shot-down HAL before the tool change was complete)
