Brother TC-225 / TC-229 adventure!

ok.

would account for the deceleration track? the stop is not triggered by reading the encoder position,. but the deceleration track as it has to brake precisely.

ok i can command to atc to go to any tool now in the shortest distance.

sorry andy, i did it in g/m code, i know you want people to use crousel so you can improve and refine it, but it made more sense inside my non programmers head the way i did it in g/m code.

the obstacles i had were:

the encoder and deceleration tracks line up on a rising edge clockwise, so you could wait for the decal edge, and ask where it was, then decide if you needed to stop.

trouble was, the other direction, nothing lined up, and you needed to stop the motor and dwell half a second to read the encoder correctly. any faster and it missed its stop.

so, i went more simple and just counted how many spots i was supposed to move, stopped the turret, and THEN asked for position. i will have it toss up an error if it was the wrong position.

the second issue i had was that weighted sums are s32, and m66 is expecting a bit. so i just did the weighted sum inside the g code. works fine, just a few more lines of code.

tomorrows tack is to stick it in a m6 called file and work out the axis motion portion.

thanks for the help andy, id be totally lost without your input

There are HAL functions that convert between data types, but doing it in the G-code might be tidier.

ok, were stuck on remapping m6.

i put the subroutine path in the ini, and remap m6 line pointing to the ngc file.
it still pops up the "please remove tool" dialogue and does nothing else, so i assume I'm missing something either in the ini, or in hal, or both.

there was an example id found before, but i cant seem to find now.

It sounds like you still have hal_manualtoolchange in the HAL file.

aha. that's a safe bet, cause i sure didn't delete it

ill be in front of the machine in a few hours, ill check it over.

thanks!
