TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION = 0 0 0
Now when I run my M6 I get a "joint1 fallowing error" ,I think joint1 is the turret.


Joint 1 is often the Y axis. Perhaps the problem is that you don't have one but the INI is specifying one.

However, the sample lathe configs manage it, so there must be a way round it.

I tried everything to shut that error off ,but couldn't get away from it.

Now I'm using - TOOL_CHANGE_AT_G30 =1 ,the only problem is that the tool changes,then the lathe moves to G30 and then the tool locks.

Does your turret move on the T word or the M6?

Turret moves on T ,so just typing T06 will move turret to tool 6. Typing in M6 T06 will move turret to tool 6 and then move xz to G30.

Do you have a remap in place?

Is the turret connected to tool-prepare or tool-request?

I have not implemented a remap, But Pathpilot does have some remap stuff, nothing to do with M6.

It looks to me like it's being called by tool prepare, here is the HAL component.

No, tool-prepare is looped-back and doing nothing.

What does the RS274NGC section of the INI file say?

Sorry, I keep forgetting that Pathpilot is different.

I think that the FEATURES=64 turns on "T to change tool" and might mean that you can't use the M6 position.

But I don't know, I know nothing about PathPilot.

Thanks' Andy
It looks like the normal order of execution is to select tool and then M6.

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/overview.ht..._code_best_practices

I can't find any info on that "FEATURES=64". I have seen some reference to it meaning 64 bit kernel, But can't confirm that.
