It seems that the config (as-is) relies on a gladeVCP panel.
You probably want to get rid of that as it only exists so that you can provide dummy toolchanger inputs to the tool change process.

When i delete the file i have an error that gladevcp is missing
then i recopy the file and i put the comment # sing in front of the net commands and the linux cnc starts
when i try in the MDI m6t2 the machine moves to the position of the tool and it make all the moves normally(i think)
when i ask for t12 i have an error as is expected since there is no 12 tool in the tool table

When I said "get rid of the gladeVCP panel" I meant rather more than just deleting the file.

You (probably) want to not load it in the first place, and then make HAL connections to real physical inputs from the hardware to replace those that are connected to the GladeVCP in the sim config. (though the glade appears to just be two indicators to show when spindle-lock and air-flush are active)

Note that the sample config expects some INI entries:

[TOOL_HOLDER_CLEAR]
X = 10
Y = 30
Z = 10

[TOOL_SLOT_DELTA]
X = 0
Y = 10
Z = 0

# this is not named TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION on purpose - canon uses it and will
# interfere
[CHANGE_POSITION]
X = 10
Y = 10
Z = 10

[DWELL]
LOCK_TIME = 0.5
MYSTERY = 0
NEW_TOOL = 1.0
POST_UNLOCK = 0.5

# motion.digital-out-NN pins
[PINS]
LOCK = 0
FLUSH = 1

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...tool_getput_move.ngc

I think that on my own machine I would probably not bother getting quite so much info from the INI, hard-coding which G-code digital out (motion.digital-out-NN, toggled by M64 / M65 in the G-code subroutine) is used for each function.

Do you also need spindle orient prior to tool change?

You cannot use my config because I am doing the remap in python. You are running into issues because you are trying to use the sim configs and unless you know how to get out from under the way they did the simulator, you will have issues.

Look at HueyHQ config here.

Look at the ini config, important or it wont work. Also you will need to install standard glue.

Once the remap structure is good, then you can start with your toolchange code. You would probably be better off using NGC with standard glue.

just my thoughts.
