Probe Basic ATC Setup Problems

if it doesn't do it in the sim and does it in your machine configs, i would compare your machine configs and look for the difference, this may be a hal setting somewhere perhaps that is holding the machine state rather than returning it as expected, that is the only suggestion i can think.

I couldn't find any config differences that might cause this. I also created a new machine with pncconf and only the minimal requirements but I still run into the same problem.
The execution of the .ngc file called by the toolchange always just stops.
Here is another example. Trying to store Tool 8 in the carousel. Again, the only modification to the subroutines are print statements in M13.
 

When I now use the "store tool in carousel" button it results in this log:
 

It waits on the input of the Index and then nothing happens. The program should either continue if the rising edge is detected or abort if it isn't but neither of those things happen. It just stays in this "waiting" state forever. Or until I use the "Stop" button. I don't understand how the execution can get held up in the middle of the .ngc file. 

Also the M64 P3 to start the motor doesn't seem to work either when M13 is called. The Output is never activated. But when I just Type "M64 P3" manually in the MDI console it works perfectly fine.

Sadly not :(
To be honest I have no idea where to even look at this point.
For now I have gone back to manual tool changing which works without any problems.
But I really want to get the ATC working again since it worked perfectly fine with the old setup with the only drawback being that I had to manually change the pocket numbers when I changed out a tool in the ATC which wasn't very often since I had 24 pockets. But I assume that going back to an older Linuxcnc and probebasic version will be somewhat difficult as well since I don't know what exact version I was using.

also do you have customized python files in your config or are you using the latest python files included in the sim folder?
