Issues setting up Tool setter / manual tool change was created by Will_cnc
Hi all,I’m currently having trouble setting up a tool presetter in LinuxCNC. My setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 5 running LinuxCNC, three Leadshine servo motors, and a Beckhoff unit handling the toolsetter input.
The main issue is that when I press “Set Tool Offset PSO,” LinuxCNC does not apply the current machine coordinates. Also, when attempting to perform a tool height setting, nothing happens.
I’m also experiencing problems with manual tool changes. When using the Unload Tool or Load Tool commands, nothing occurs. The only way I can trigger a tool change is by using an M6 T"x" command, which brings up a popup asking for confirmation that the tool has been changed.I have not yet connected the solenoid valve that will actuate the drawbar.
I’ve attached my HAL and INI files. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
