As far as I can tell the P-number in the tooltable is completely ignored in nonrandom toolchangers.
I can't help feeling that it would be nice if tool_prepare_pocket also worked on nonrandom machines. Consider a lathe with a 6-position changer and a stock of 20 tools. You could leave the tools in the table, and just shuffle the pockets. Setting RANDOM_TOOLCHANGER = 1 means that the tool_pocket_prepare pin does something useful, but then the tools juggle themselves about. Is there an excellent reason to prefer a tool array with entries packed at the top for nonrandom changers? It seems like it might just be a misguided optimisation to save iterating through all 56 indices every time? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
