Im actually starting to understand it now. so by this line setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-out-01 1 it will activate the tool changer piston out to connect with the spindle. But before that, would I not need a line that says G0 Z-6.78 "Just an example as to where the tool change position needs to be for the x axis" then how would I add the setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-out-01 1 to the m6 file? after that I guess I could have setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-out-01 0 setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.00.digital-out-02 1 "activate drawbar" G0 Z-2.00 "Hieght for tool clearance" ---------this is where i am lostI need to take the input from the control o<tool> and rotate the turret to the right tool position
