You would need to create a patch in git format (git format-patch) and submit it to the mailing list for consideration. The problem is that it needs to not break anything else, and add something that existing code does not. One concern I have about your code is that it might do the same thing as the current option to re-map M6 to an arbitrary G-code routine, but less flexibly. I am not sure if you are aware of this option, and I am not doing very well at finding any documentation. I suspect if you had known about it, you might well have done your tool change that way. By the way, I have no say on what code does and does not get accepted into EMC2, I don't even know who does decide. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 Ways to Improve & Secure Unified Communications Unified Communications promises greater efficiencies for business.
