REMAP M6 FOR GENEVA ATC

I am remapping the tool change procedure and i need the spindle to come to a complete stop before executing python script. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you asking for hardware solutions or software solutions?
A little more detail would be helpful.

Software. This is a Fadal with 21 tool changer. Which tool change pin fires first in IO control when M6 is executed?

Also, where can i find the actual code that's executed during an M6 routine?

Here is the over view of tool changes:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/remap/remap.h...ange-currently-works

Look in src/emc/iotask/ioControl.cc for the HAL pin hand shaking


But I wonder if you 'AND' the tool-change pin with some sort of spindle stopped pin. (maybe even spindle at speed?)
Or feed the tool-change into a delay timer component.

I was able to create a pin that gets triggered by the "tool-prepare" pin, which is the first pin activated by M6. I defined conditions in python as "while pin is active" and "spindle speed in == 0". Works great.
