We sold Asterisk based VOIP telephone PBX systems.
They were 'white box' hardware (generic, nothing special) systems,

'Selling free software' is hard.
What a vendor 'sells' isn't open or free software. It is services. It
is hardware. It is integration. It is training. It is support.
Basically, it is time.
It is NOT software. It can be 'glue' software they write, or 'customization'.

Thanks all for you help. I was able to configure this fairly easily. The
only issue I had was initially I was setting the maxaccel and maxvel values
on the hardware steppers. This was causing joint following errors. I found
that if I would set the following error (FERROR) absurdly high like 100 it

it still finished the part perfectly.)

As usual, the folks on this list have been extremely helpful to track
down problems - Thanks! :-)
Les N. originally came up with this version of the tool change program.
But I'll edit the file according to the suggestions, try it out, and
then re-upload the file to the Wiki server so we have

Have now had a play with this and found how to get it working with 2.5
Comment out the lines

I am no python expert, but a couple of things jump out at me.
There has been no reference under [EMC] NML_FILE= in the ini file
since v2.4
Indeed if it is not commented out , EMC will fail to start with multiple
errors.
So the call iniFile.find("EMC", "NML_FILE")) will fail on v2.4 and ab
