M6 Remap for ATC with carousel

I modified the vismach ngc slightly to work with my configuration. The pocket selection is no different then the sim config. My Hal, ini and ngc files are a few posts back to view.

Awesome. I see it now and can test it tomorrow when I get home from work. I really appreciate the patience with me and wish someday I was better at explaining this. But I am learning.

From what I see in the github version (my stdglue.py doesn't have that first line about the legacy names) there is the ability to use that #<pocket> parameter. For anyone following along the REMAP=T section uses the #<pocket> parameter and passes it on that remap epilogue as the #<selected_pocket> I could be completely wrong about some of that though as reading python is new to me. I am assuming that since I am not using the prepare tool then I wouldn't be sending a #<pocket> number to #<selected_pocket>.

I changed to #<pocket> and got an error that the parameter was not defined. I am assuming I will have to change something in the prologue/epilogue to make that available?

Trying to read those files isnt making much sense. Crash course in python naming conventions is needed.

You can put print statements in your stdglue files and see exactly what it is doing and what values are in the variables.
You can see this when you are starting linuxcnc in a terminal. Vary helpful troubleshooting tool.

IF I remember correctly as it has been a while since I did ATC's, but if your using stdglue in M6 remap with a nonrandom toolchanger selected_pocket = selected_tool.

Or maybe I set that in my remap..... I don't remember.
