The X-axis servo motor and drive failed a few months ago and I haven't touched the machine ever since. I finally got back to fixing the machine, but I want to make some tweaks to the tool changer.

Everything works ok, but I need to add a timing delay when making a tool change. The motor starts turning immediately as soon as you make a tool change, thus not allowing the tool changer to fully unclamp. This causes the tool post to move back and forth until it is unclamped and then it will do the tool change as it's supposed to. I'm sure if i keep running it like this something is eventually going to break or wear .

How do I add a time delay so that the control waits for the tool changer to fully unclamp, and then rotate to the correct position, and re-clamp.

I will attach my HAL files, I don't think I set it up 100% either.

Do you want Linux Mint 19.3 with LinuxCNC 2.8.4 ISO?
It uses 4.19.nn kernel, if i recall correctly, and it works a bit better on my older laptops and PC's.
I can try to upload to google drive, if it fits.

i have used mode 2 on x and z. they are working.

ok thanks

Which combination of cards do you have?

Oops should have read the title.

That's a fairly odd combination, what hardware interfaces do you need?
There is no standard firmware for the combination, but it can be built easily
 

There's 7I76+7I85S firmware for a 7I80DB but not for the 7I76+7I85.
I can make this if you tell me which version of the 7I80DB you have (-16 or -25)

Note that Sserial cards don't need any card specific support in the firmware.
(as long as there is a sserial port, any sserial card is supported)

The 7I76 has 1 free sserial port and the 7I85 has 5 free sserial ports.
