Manual tool chang in probe basic was created by mhd325ic
I am new to probe basic, please forgive me if I am asking naive questions. My milling machine, which doesn't have a ATC, is controlled by linuxcnc with a probe basic gui. Everything works well, but it won't prompt to change tool. It seems the default behaviour of probe basic is ATC.
How can I configure the probe basic to prompt a manual tool change?

Usually probe basic gives the pop up dialog to confirm the tool change. for some reason your ini and hal might have something different. I remember having few lines on tool change. need to have a look on the machine.
I can attach my files if you need. its from my working mill. same as yours without atc.

Thanks for offering your configuration. I have been googling an working example setup for linuxcnc and got confused results: some example says a m6 remap will do the trick and the others add iocontrol and hal. It would be a great help to see an example setup in probe_basic.

Manual tool change is an hal entry in your main hal file.
If you have conflicts in pb you would have to resolve them.
JT
# manual tool change
loadusr -W hal_manualtoolchange
net tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-change => hal_manualtoolchange.change
net tool-changed iocontrol.0.tool-changed <= hal_manualtoolchange.changed
net tool-number iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number => hal_manualtoolchange.number
net tool-prepare-loopback iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
]
If you have conflicts in pb you would have to resolve them.

Thank BigJohnT and Harindugamlath! It works if I comment the line of "net tool-prepare-loopback iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => hal_manualtoolchange.tool-prepared". It seems it defined somewhere in probe_basic.
The tool length compensation seems works with presetted value in tooltable. Finally I am ready to make the first CNC milling run!
Appreciated helps from everybody!

Hi to all,
I'm using Probe-Basic;
@BigJohnT
How do I set my ToolChange Position ?
If I make a ToolChange like M6 T2 then my Z-axis allways first go to Z0, then ask to make the toolchange !
Best Regards

are you using the tool setter function or just want to set a tool change position?
the tool setter position is on the offsets page I just made a video showing how to set that, for standard M6 tool change position coordinates, that is set in the ini per the documents for linuxcnc.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/config/ini-co...ml#sub:ini:sec:emcio
