Newbie setup Gmocappy setup was created by Stonefire
Hi
After thumbling around with LInuxcnc/Gmocappy I finally got the program to work with my CNC. I'm still having som smaller, but importent, issues that are killing me.....
I'm trying to set Gmocappy up , to use the tool sensor-probe. I've been following the tutorial: Gmocappy documentation point by point and the Youtube-videos, without any luck
I can't find a small program to test the setup. The once in the sample dir does not use the probe......
I'm Newbe in Linux, LinuxCNC ...and G-codes :woohoo: - so it is a high mountain to climb :silly:
Is there a kind soul, that will take a look into my attached files and try to guide me the laste steps....
Sincerly

i'm looking into this at the moment for my own use
i presume the file change.ngc is the sequence you want
are you changing tools manually or using a ATC ?
what type of probe are you using ?
and i presume you have the probe signal switching ok , as your input
if you care to let me know what other problems your having , we will see how we can help guide you through

Hi cncbasher
Thanks for your help. Some of the files is a "left-over" from other attempt to get it working.
The .ini and .hal changes are all based on the description at Gmocappy
I change the tools manually. The probe is a button-type from: GoCNC.de
The probe is tested and Gmocappy gets the signal on pin 13 - checked ok...
My problem is to figure out some kind off test to check the tool-changing process is functioning - some kind of a simple G-kode with 1 or toolchanges....
I've tried some of the samples, but they don't work.... I don't know if it is because the toolchange is not implemented or the tool-change is not working.
I've cleaned up the files, deleted the files from older attempts...
I hope this is more detailed around the problems I have - sorry for my english. It is not my prior language...
