Gmoccapy - Tool Number Zero

Hi,

Sorry if this have been covered elsewhere, but I was unable to find any info.

When using gmoccapy is there a way to make the tool information to list tool zero as it does on startup? When I want to unload the tool in the spindle I use M6T0 which calls a toolchange subroutine, unloads the tool, and uses M61Q0 to set iocontrol.0.tool-number to -1, but the tool information in gmoccapy still lists the previously loaded tool.

Thanks,
Jordan Schulze

Hallo Jordan,

you are right, I am able to reproduce that.

If i have a tool loaded and do a T0 M6 all works like expected, but a M61 Q0 the tool information will remain and also the tool offset is still present!

I do think, that that is a bug in linuxcnc.

I also found a small mistake in my code, I will push the solution in two minutes. But after updating you will still to have to use a work around, doing the M61 Q0 twice to get the tool number set correct.

I reported the error already in the developer mailing list.

Hi,

Huge thanks for looking into it. I have remapped M6 to a subroutine controlling my atc. This was my first time remapping, so I wasn't quite sure how to retain some of the original M6 functionality, hence I use the M61 inside the subroutine to update the current tool. I suppose it would work like normal if I could retain the activation of iocontrol.0.tool-change and then tell iocontrol.0.tool-changed when the toolchange was complete.
