You should be able to get to a situation fairly quickly where you can manually operate the tool changer from the command line. If you have LinuxCNC up and running you can open a terminal window and issue HAL commands directly. halcmd -kf opens an interactive HAL session then: setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-out-01 1 Might, for example, extend the carousel and setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-out-01 0 loadusr halmeter -s pin hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-in-00 Will open a halmeter window to monitor the state of the inputs in. It is possible to do all this from the Axis GUI too, and in the "Show HAL configuration" window. The reason I do it in a Terminal window is that the terminal version has tab-completion of HAL pin names (less typing) and a history (up arrow brings back the previous item). -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
