Hi all,
If I call an M6T2 in MDI, linuxCNC seems to just wait for something that never occurs. I can hit escape to cancel it. Afterwards, I notice that the O-word tool change sub is loaded as the active program to be executed. No alarms or aborts appeared.
Is there something I should look for in halshow to help diagnose this?

My remap uses the standard-glue prolog and epilog with no changes.
For a tool changer as explained in the following is that okay? Do I need to make changes?

This is a standard carousel style tool changer. Powered by an ac-motor with a sensor for index and pocket alignment. It uses pneumatics to go under the spindle or park.

I have looped the iocontrol signal as stated in the remap extended manual.
net tool-change-loop iocontrol.0.tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-changed
Were there other signals that I needed to loop?
Do I need to do a tool prepare remap for an M6 remap to work?


Other Info that might be helpful to explain some of the lines in the toolchange.ngc file:
The spindle has 3 proximity sensors to tell if the spindle is empty, draw-bar is engaged, or if the spindle is full.

Thank you for your time,
This is a confusing one for me.

I'm not really familiar with ATC remaps but maybe try adding this loop to your hal:
net tool-prep-loop iocontrol.0.tool-prepare iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
