for non random, how about flaged the pocket identity number (as u are doing for random) in Tool table as zero for indicating thats the one in the spindle, and setting all others to -1 or something so when EMC loads up it looks for the one with zero in table file. once a change is compete old pocket ID becomes -1 new one becomes 0 i coudl't see alot wrong with how EMC was calling out tool change as it is as it seemed you can issue out a T value while doing stuff, i must say i never did a quick sim to see how it waits for the tool prep finish. also how about adding in a tool change error signal? so can flag up a tool change error and have EMC halt as right now there is no nice way to give in a tool change error, if its taking too long to change tool, or no tool by that number etc. rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
