Tool change problem probe not detected (solved)

Everything works except it is not seeing the touch off probe after the tool change . X ,Y& Z all move to the correct location, I get the button for tool change. Once pushed the Z starts down looking for the probe, it makes contact but does not stop. It does not see the probe. Now If I just jog Z down manually it does see it and it stops with no problem. But will not when ran automatically.

I'm sure it is something simple but my Python is real rusty.

Also when Z starts down it never goes to search velocity it only rapids down at the set feed rate.

I had a quick look at this yesterday, but didn't see anything obviously wrong - was hoping someone more experienced could spot something.

I don't use Gmoccapy, so not sure if toolchange is built-in, as you have commented out the hal_manualtoolchange comp.

Personally, I use a remap for my toolchange, and modified the tool_change.ngc to suit my machine. I know that doesn't help your case, but if you wanted to try going down that road, I could maybe assist?

Thanks for looking. I have been messing with it for about a week just when I am sure I found something only still no difference. I have gone back over the tool change in the wiki many time and read every thing I can find that relates and I just don't see the issue

As it is setting it up in Axis also would be greatly appreciated. I currently have the touch off probe working in it but I have not gone on as far as setting up the tool change location and touch off like it is in Gmoccapy. But I would like to.
I have found that the more I have learned about one the more I understand the other

Still no closer on figuring this out I found several things I thought were causing it but nothing changes it still the same problem. I have included everything I have on the zip in hopes someone and run it and see what I stupidly overlooked
