Did you try the canonical commands?

Granted, I may not have done it correctly.... whether that was causing it to ignore commands or not, I am not sure.

I tried mdi commands, that was the worst, had to check which mode it was in and make sure it was in the correct mode and I ran into issues with that as well.

IT was really difficult trying to interact with it because its not really documented that well, so I had to try and figure out how everything works. It was interesting but I learned alot...lol

The function nesting depth in Python really shouldn't matter. Unless maybe the references to the the command channel were not being passed (ie the emccanon object was going out of scope)

That's a definite possibility. I was trying all sorts of things to get it to work, scrambling a bit.

On another note, the queue in linux stat in axis, is that the readahead queue? Commands in the readahead buffer?

Hey All,

This seems like a thread full of information along the lines of an issue i am having and not finding a solution for. i am using M6 remap for my atc and the atc in the new probe basic gui, but i,m having a strange issue.

when a program is loaded that has a tool used twice not in succession ie, T6 is called then T10 and then T6 again, i get an error saying the tool is not in the carousel but if the interpreter ran through the remap entirely it would have been returned to the carousel and should be found. this is a pretty frustrating issue as sometimes i use tools at different stages of a file such as a facemill to cut the surface to height and then some rough machining that reveals a larger flat area that i will use the facemill on again to leave a nice finish while avoid an island boss.

I am not sure where exactly the problem stems from considering the atc itself will work fine and tracks the tools flawlessly and everything is working great except this load program issue. it is forcing me to make separate posts to achieve using the same tool twice.

any help or ideas on what i could do to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Chris
