I don't think that is quite fair. There is some resistance to the iocontrol hack that hard-codes the behaviour. (And there are reasons not to like the Fanuc way, too, it is incompatible with the tooldatabase schema that we hacked out last year) Chris recently proposed a new variant of G43 that would allow one to configure a Fanuc-like toolchange by remapping the T-word, which I feel might be a better solution. I was expecting to remove tool handling out of iocontrol altogether and make it a loadable HAL module, but that was on hold awaiting an NML replacement that could be "seen" by userspace HAL Python modules. And that hasn't happened (and might not) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
