I had to add the machinekit-dev packages to be able to run the comp --install toolchanger.comp Now when I run that I get the following errors: toolchanger.c:55:5: error: unknown type name 'bool'        bool bEven;        ^ toolchanger.c57:5:  error: unknown type name 'bool'        bool bToggle;                               ^ toolchanger.c63:5:  error: unknown type name 'bool'        bool bWarn;                               ^ toolchanger.c69:5:  error: unknown type name 'bool'        bool fjog;                               ^ toolchanger.c71:5:  error: unknown type name 'bool'        bool bjog;                               ^ I see that this is your original contribution - many thanks.  I hope I can get it working without being too much of a pain. Yes I wrote this many years ago for Linuxcnc.  I still use it on the Boxford 240 lathe I wrote it for with Machinekit however, no reason to change what works. The bool issue is probably due to some changes in types introduced a while back, it can be got over simply by either defining bool, true, false etc or using hal_bit_t I think I defined them in instcomp to allow bool to be used in the main function, could just do the same to comp. I will look at it later and post an amended version which compiles with the current Machinekit.

I've tried looking at and copying from the toolchanger examples on the Machinekit.io documentation but I've stumbled.  A bit more background - I'm trying to copy the example toolchanger for the Boxford 240 example( found here: http://www.machinekit.io/docs/developing/toolchangers/) as its very similar to my turret toolchanger, mine is only 6 positions versus 8, but it too is a rotate past a pawl and then back up against it type, no sensors, and converted to a stepper motor. I've edited my hal, ini and the toolchanger.comp to be what I think is correct...(i.e roughly correct - just looking for motion at the right time and place - fine tuning will come later). I seem to be failing to "load" the toolchanger component based on the log file and error message?   Debug file information: stat: No such file or directory Compact5.hal:286: insmod failed, returned -1: do_load_cmd: dlopen: toolchanger.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory rpath=/usr/lib/linuxcnc/xenomai http://pastebin.com/2bMkjcnU Eventually I'd like to add spindle speed control as well but for now 1 problem at a time. Any help with this is appreciated Thanks Mike -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
