Manual Tool Change (Stable version) and tool load position was created by daveyr
Ok so getting there slowly.
My machine is a none repeatable ER20 collet, Fixed location tool setter.
Workflow: I normally zero from my tool setter with my probe (I know that this is not the most accurate but the tool setter is a softer spring so it always triggers before the tool setter and seems to be good within a .01 ish mm) then probe work cordinates change to the correct tool have it set tool length as part of the tool change and we are off to the chips.
ProbeBasic upgraded to the stable version, at the stage of trying to get the tool change process back to working how it was. In the past i used version 3.0 of the ToolTall18T script (modified a bit) and it was working correctly. Do a M6 or a tool load button and it would move the spindle to a 'Loading location' and then do the probe set the tool length and pause for M01 break if selected.
Trying to figure out what the best way to get started for using the new tool dialogue would be to return to what i had before. If i enable the M6 Remap then i loose the new tool dialogue. If i just use the M6 G43 or tool load button it just says ok insert tool and press button but dosnt then go and measure the tool length. Subroutines folder is direct copy from machine_setup folder in the new install.
