That's unusual, all the ones that I have seen need the working tool to have moved to the tool change position before they can operate. But the arm isn't a real axis, so you should be able to move it with just HAL (limit3 etc). But have a look at "extrajoints", which Dewey describes around post 20 here: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/35643-making-some-axes-independent-of-the-motion-controller?start=0 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
