    Default Tool Changes and ATC Control

    Has anyone tried a tool changer (non Tormach) with PathPilot yet. I have 2 ATCS to setup in PP. They are carousel type. One simple and the other quite complex BUT they are both easy to do in Mach3 or UCCNC. I have run them BOTH in either controller.

    First glance LinuxCNC tool changes ( M6) look like a Hot Spanish Romance Novel written in Latin.

    (;-) TP

    Default Re: Tool Changes and ATC Control

    You can write Python code for any M function. The Python code can talk to your tool changer in any way you want.
    So, if you know Python programming, then you should be able to make it do whatever you want.
    If NOT, then you're at the mercy of whatever documentation you can find on the web, which ... as you say ... varies in comprehensibility.
