You have the manual tool change section commented-out
Code:
# ---manual tool change signals--- #net tool-change-request iocontrol.0.tool-change => hal_manualtoolchange.change #net tool-change-confirmed iocontrol.0.tool-changed <= hal_manualtoolchange.changed #net tool-number iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number => hal_manualtoolchange.number #net tool-prepare-loopback iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => iocontrol.0.tool-prepared

Uncomment those lines, and add a line before them to load the manual toolchange component.
Code:
loadusr −W hal_manualtoolchange

Thanks Andy, They were commented out as per the instructions to install the probe screen. I added the loadusr −W hal_manualtoolchange and uncommented the other 4 lines. I removed the probe screen and will try to load it again in the morning.
The tool change is working again.

I don't know why probe-screen says to comment the lines. It might be for a very good reason. Perhaps probe-screen expects to do it itself?

The tool change seems to be working and probe screen seems to load.
Linuxcnc starts and I can home my machine now but probing is not working.
I will be able to post my ini and hal files in a few minutes.
