Manual Tool Change was created by JT
I'm trying to figure out when iocontrol.0.tool-change is on so I can pop up a window similar to the Axis pop up for tool change.
I'm looking at hal_manualtoolchange.py but not understanding it fully so I'm a bit stumped... any clues?

Not sure if this helps but 'hal_manualtoolchange.py' is a userspace hal component that needs its pins connected to iocontrol in hal so it can create the popups when a change is requested and pass the information on to iocontrol when the change is completed:
loadusr -W hal_manualtoolchange
net tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-change => hal_manualtoolchange.change
net tool-changed iocontrol.0.tool-changed <= hal_manualtoolchange.changed
net tool-number iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number => hal_manualtoolchange.number

Thanks, I know how to load and connect to hal_manualtoolchange, I'm trying to figure out how hal_manualtoolchange.py works so I can roll my own using PyQt6.
This part is pretty straight forward to me making the pins

h = hal.component("hal_manualtoolchange")
h.newpin("number", hal.HAL_S32, hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("change", hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("change_button", hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("changed", hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_OUT)
h.ready()JT
