That pin is mentioned in > the manpage. Yes, I meant that pin, but I was unprecise with my words. I wanted to say, that configuration of that pin is not mentioned. That's because I misunderstood source comment from ioControl. What I learned so far: a shortcutted pin is too fast, to see it toggle. So I break the loop and I saw, that the pin works without configuration. But ... ... don't know - the gcode-sequence I posted lately - is that valid for linuxcnc? That way every machine is programmed at work. The N-word may be special for Fanuc, as Fanuc shows the active N-word ... Anyway - axis and interpreter accept the code without error message, but with that code, the tool-prepare pin does not work as expected. The line headed by N10 sets up the parameters for tool T4, which has been changed just before. At the end of the line, T23 is commanded - so at that time, the tool-prepare pin should be active. But it is not. ... and it will not become active until next M6-command. After the second M6, axis shows T23 as active and the tool-prepare becomes active with prep-toolnum of T24. Don't know, whether I should do something different. Actually I monitor the tool-prepare- and tool-change-pin and when they become active I rise the -prepared-pins and -changed-pins to confirm the action. cheers Reinhard ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers

Re: [Emc-developers] iocontrol.0.tool-prepare
Try putting the T code well before the m6 T prepares the tool changer to change for a specific tool M6 changes it. machines with large tool chains use this to preselect the next tool. This loads tool 1 and immediately preselects tool2 T1 M6 T2 Most configs short cut the pins as you mentioned and don't preselect. Chris From: Reinhard Sent: May 16, 2020 2:21 PM To: emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Emc-developers] iocontrol.0.tool-prepare Hi, playing around with hal I discovered the prepare-pins of iocontrol. So I wrote a gcode-file, that has a T-word after the M6 ... ... but the prepare-pin did not light. Inspecting hal from axis I can see, that prepare-pins are connected. I wonder, what is the role of these pins and when will they get active?
