Tool length sensor and touch probe with Mesa7i76e

If you are using gmoccapy:
Have you read ( and understood [ I myself did not for the first reading ]) the documentation in gmoccapy. I had to file with block hight / tool measurement hight and do things in positive numbers, also my z moves only from 5 to - 130..

I'm thinking your tool offset value is tool high.

It should probably be the difference between the probe gauge length and the tool gauge length.

So if your probe is 50mm long and tool is 70 your height offset would be +20 since you are setting g54 to your vise

I have made a new setup for my SyilX7 mill and it seems that I have a stupid issue for most of the cnc users, but just using my current experience, I can’t figure it out.
Can someone explain me how to load and the tools, determine workpiece origin(i assume its Touch Off) and set tool offsets (tool touch off?)
I am using probe screen along with a tool height sensor and a ruby ball touch probe.
The touch probe seems to work fine, however, no idea yet how the probe screen should deal with the tool height sensor.
I’ve checked the inputs for both of them and I can see values changing for the pins.
If I do M6 T1 G43, the linuxcnc ui freezes and in the bottom bar still says no tool.
You can check the video below, please excuse the poor quality it

Hi vmihalca,

did you ever resolve this issue with freeze at M6? I am installing Probe Screen and get everything to work except the tool change which is freezing on M6

Yes, I got it resolved. Don't remember exactly how, I think it was a problem with Z soft limits. I am just speaking from memories, I think it was something like tool change was asking the to go to a position that was out of my soft limits.

Freeze on M6 is typically that the system has set tool-change and is waiting for tool-changed to be set when the tool change is complete.

It isn't frozen, so much as waiting to be told that the tool change is finished.
