Hi, I am trying to create an automatic tool changer and have the same problems. In python, I control valves and check sensors, then run the g-code, then check the sensors again, and run the g-code again, but it doesn't work in that sequence. For some reason, all the g-code command is executed directly at the end. How did you get around this problem? I am attaching my config. This is an urgent need, please help.

Can you put the code in
code tags
?

The reason I ask is because it is impossible to follow Python code without the indenting, and the spoiler tags seem to have lost that

I only see a few sleep commands, and no wait-for-sensor loops.

I don't think that this is likely to be the problem, but it is an area where an improvement is possible.

It's more clunky in some ways, and less so in others, but controlling the sequence via a G-code routine can work well. G-code has built-in wait-on-input functions which include timeout handling.

There is an example of a G-code tool-change here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...hange/toolchange.ngc

One reason this is potentially useful is that the interpreter does not try to queue moves through a wait-on-input G-code.

It looks like your tool change is all in the prolog code. I am wondering if that is the problem. prolog code is intended to run before the main toolchange sequence and typically just sorts out what need to be done.

Carousel postioning is typically done as part of a remapped T command, and then the change itself as the main M6 remap.
