Auto-Reload Tool Table Data in ATC Without External Script
1 year 8 months ago #321621
by pd_2832
Hi,
I am working on a linear ATC project in LinuxCNC. Currently, my atc.ngc file uses data from tool.tbl, but I need to manually run an external Python script every time the tool table data changes to update atc.ngc.
Is there a way to automatically reload tool.tbl data into my ATC program without needing an external script? Can LinuxCNC directly access the updated tool table in real-time within G-code or any built-in mechanism to trigger an update?
Any suggestions or alternative solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

HI
Sorry, am I wrong or does LinuxCNC already take the tool values from the .tbl file?
When you insert a new tool into the table, you update the table before closing it and LinuxCNC takes the new data, offset and diameter
X and Y depend on the rack are fixed in the tool_change.ngc file
It already works like this without external scripts
Maybe I misunderstand
