remap, instructions

I am using the pinned Apt version of 2,9 using the buildbot.
At the moment I want to implement the Tool Measurement funtcions.
I have a probe and a toolsetter, both work and give a signal on net probe-in

I noticed that the documentation is not up-to-date with the software as provided by the buildbot.
For example one time subroutines is without an ending s and sometimes with an Ss

Also when I 'make' a machine with Stepconf I get load of extra files that are never mentioned in the documentation. Mixing these settings with my working setting proved to be a disaster.

Is there anybody how has Dragon working with toolchange and measurement?

Can you give more specifics?

I'll look at the docs

I found the exact thing I need and want here: www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...h-off?start=30#48235
This follows my workflow and works mostly automatic.
My problem is solved, took a few years though

Enjoying using qtDragon very  much, your (and the others of course) hard work is much appreciated!
Since pinning LinuxCNC to version 2.9 my machine came to life again and is working as it should.[/code]
