Hi Andy, It isn't an Orac changer. I made it from scratch to fit my Orac. I looked at the Orac tool changer component and it appears that the component expects a 3 bit greyscale position sensor while I just have a simple switch on the pawl indicating that one tool has passed the switch. I am sure it wouldn't take much to modify it but the script works and I am too lazy to change it.
I didn't know the origin of the name. Thanks for the link.
