Why is this not done by default? 257 tools.

It is .... by Path Pilot.....

I checked the sources and it has not changed.,

Who do I have to send money to to get this done in the next release? lol

Think it would be possible to have this as a config option in the ini?

Well, after a full rebuild using Stretch, and a fresh clone of Plasmac, plus the ini file changes that were pointed out, I now have a machine that will jog, home, react to soft limits and limit switches.

I wanted to check probing, but when I go into the plasma config tab or the plasma run tab I am unable to enter any setting, the spin buttons do not work and any numbers that I can type in manually just revert to 0 or blank when I move to the next box or try to save.
I also notice that the squares gcode file does not load at start up. I also still have to comment out the IHS skip or I get an error, see attached screenshot.
I feel as though I have a path wrong or some files missing. I have tried a new clone and copy of the files to my Plasmac directory but it was still the same. I also used to have a test window pop up that I no longer see.

Rod, that's a good find... wonder why it's not done in master?

Someone needs to do a PR on that, I can't quite figure out how to start one, I know how to merge one lol.

I was kinda hoping if Phill implemented it in his repository, it would find its way into master branch eventually!

Andy mentioned on the IRC that doing that is a huge increase in the NML memory, so I'm assuming that is the reason it has not be done. He also mentioned that he thought Rene was working on the tool table. And that a limit is silly because changing tools breaks blending anyway so motion only needs one tool... which would mean an unlimited amount of tools in the tool table. I wish my C and C++ was as good as my Python.
