signal tool change complete with physical panel button

this config seems to indicate that you are using the GMoccapy builtin tool changer mechanism not the hal_maniaualtoolchange component.

Looks like GMoccapy has no builtin way to externally close the dialog and dwiddle the pins like hal_manualtoolchange does.

Maybe Norbert can advise a work around or point out what i may have missed.

I configured it as shown below.
Pushing the button does complete the tool change but doesn't dismiss the gmoccapy dialog. I think this is what you were referring to.

Do @mentions work here? Pinging @newbynobi



#pins for manual tool change
net tool-change gmoccapy.toolchange-change <= iocontrol.0.tool-change
net itool-changed or2.1.in0 <= gmoccapy.toolchange-changed
net etool-changed or2.1.in1 <= hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.input-16
net tool-changed iocontrol.0.tool-changed <= or2.1.out
net tool-prep-number gmoccapy.toolchange-number <= iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number
net tool-prepare-loopback iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => iocontrol.0.tool-prepared

Pinging does not work here, but I am watching ;¬}

I may need to add an confirm Hal pin to all dialogs, but will need some time.
I am busy with real important project for my daughter at the moment.

I asked the same question about 12 months ago and got the answer that there is no HAL pin
A suggestion is to press the enter key on the keyboard to confirm the tool change
I rigged up a 'keyboard hack' to have the 'enter' key on a physical button on my control panel

Pins for that are on the way image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/cool.png

Hey,
thanks for the work, this is exactly what i looked for months.   BUT, on my Debian System with LinuxCnc, i could only find the gmoccapy.py and its at another place. the others are not on my computer.  Is this a debian fault or mine?

Many thanks
AB
