Probe Basic ATC Setup Problems

Did you resolve this?

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.
 

@PeterSi

can you join the qtpyvcp chat on matrix?  will be much easier to help resolve this then we can posat the findings for others here.

thanks!

Chris

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

I had the same problem on a fresh install, but not using a ATC. After I entered manual tool change in HAL the tool touch off sub exited as expected. Not identical circumstances, but perhaps close enough to pinpoint the issue.

Pommen makes a good point, this sounds like it could be your hal for the tool change type.  have a look and maybe try comparing the configs from the ATC sim hal?
