Having designed a tool changer and putting it to use for a few years, I can
say confidently that flipping the tool upside down is to prevent crude
getting on the taper. There may be other benefits, but that is the most
important by far.

A scope will be enough to determine what the most basic signalling protocol
is, but you might then need to record it with something that can capture
a long record of data. If it is
Kirk,
A very interesting concept. Please post a video once you have it going.
I would like to see it work.

Hi Kirk;
Very interested in what you were doing with your tool changer.
I could not see how it was interacting with the spindle.
Did I miss something in the video, or is that yet to be determined?
I am interested in that part also.
Thanks

Yes the control works. The machine is running. We will see what we can find
with a scope.

Results may vary, but there are a BUNCH of knowledgeable techs
and ex-techs on there, some of who still do some work on the
side. The problem is finding the right place to put the message
so one of the guys who knows will actually notice it.
just a last minute reminder .

I just added some information to my Shizuoka page covering the last work
I did on the tool changer. It is in the last third of the page:

The basics are that the T-word sets the tool select pin and the M6
sets tool-change-request pin.
That is all that LinuxCNC does by default. You either need to write a
HAL compone
The first link to the tormach system is very similar to the tool changer
on my Discovery 308 that uses BT30 tooling.
The sequence of operation for it is:
Move spindle up to tool change height.
Orient spindle.
Move carousel out to engage the tool in the spindle.
Release the gripper on the pull stu
