Tool setter setup

Hi all, like many people out there I am trying to get a tool setter setup. 
I am working from the example files but I think I have issues with file/folder mapping among other problems. 

I get a startup error usr/share/axis/images/axis.ngc: pycall(remap.change_prolog) failed 

I found a similar issue in my searches but haven't been able to figure it out. 

many thanks

Luke

The path for python is missing in the ini

linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/remap/rema...emap:embedded-python
Code:
[PYTHON] # where to find the Python code: # code specific for this configuration PATH_PREPEND=./ # generic support code - make sure this actually points to Python-stdglue PATH_APPEND=../../nc_files/remap_lib/python-stdglue/ # import the following Python module TOPLEVEL=toplevel.py # the higher the more verbose tracing of the Python plugin LOG_LEVEL = 0

thank you, that is clearly something I need to fix :)

It would be really nice if I could just start with the demo files and adjust them to my machine's specs but I haven't figured out how to get that to work.

Hi, I am making progress I think. 
the error I have now is that when I try test a file with an M6 command it I get an error 
"Program exceeds machine maximum on axis Z" 
It doesn't matter what code I have in there or where the machine is zeroed 

I have found how to sets the locations of the probe but can't find the source for the probing travels (I think the gcode has a reference to the INI but I don't see anything there) 
perhaps this is an inch vs mm thing,again I think that is correct in the file but it is a bit confusing. 

thank you

Change position must be 0 or negative value
XYZ change positions are all in machinecordinates G53:

g53 g0 Z #<_ini[change_position]z>

Thanks, that was helpful. I am still not used to the coordinate system but the locations are now ok and it starts without errors but when I run M6 it goes to the tool change position but stops there with no prompts like there are in the demo.
I think manualtoolchange.glade isn't being used 

thanks
Luke
