BOXFORD 125 TLC Tool Changer Setup

You do need the dev version of LinuxCNC installed for halcompile.

Thanks Tom

I take you mean 2.9 which I don't have. If I download 2.9 and compile it can it then be saved and copied to the 2.8 version. Or is there a better easier way?

If you are using 2.8 there is no need for 2.9, just the dev version of 2.8
sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace-dev

If I do this will it write over my version? I think I need a bit more guidance before i do it.

All I am trying to do is install the toolchanger.comp

It will not change the version of LinuxCNC that is already installed, it will just add the dev stuff from the same version.

Thanks I have done that and it seems I already have it


So What don you think I am doing wrong with the compile

Nice, so you just do
Halcompile --install toolchanger.comp
