Hello!!
I want to implement ATC using mesa 7C81. Here I want to use A -axis for rotary, so as i get command for tool change my rotary axis (A axis) should rotate. Please help me how can I handle A-axis with tool change command. What changes are required in ini, hal file and tool.tbl.
Thanks

While using a rotary axis for a tool changer does work it is really a rather outdated way of doing things. I would recommend looking at the 'carousel' component that handles tool changers in HAL rather than exposing them as axes.

Also here is a video of somebody explaining the basics of a M6 remap procedure required for tool changer integration:
