Re: [Emc-users] M0 vs Cycle start button
I am interested in getting manual tool change to work and I have followed the below instructions. When I issue an M6 T1, the machine does not move the 4th axis (angular: C) to the position set in the ini file: TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION = 4 5 10 90. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: [Emc-users] M0 vs Cycle start button
I suspect you need : 4 5 10 0 0 90 for angular C to go to 90. Just my 2 cents, Alex - Original Message - From: Glenn R.

Re: [Emc-users] M0 vs Cycle start button
It looks like the TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION can only set the XYZ location. The ABC location is hardcoded to be 0,0,0 (src/emc/task/emccanon.cc around line 1184 and src/emc/ini/initool.cc around line 77).

Re: [Emc-users] M0 vs Cycle start button
For emc2.1 systems with manual tool change, I recommend using 'hal_manualtoolchange'. This is demonstrated in the 'sim/axis' configuration. When you issue a tool change g-code like 'M6 T1', the machine goes to a location defined in the INI, then a dialog appears on the screen with a button for you to press when the new tool is in place. Then the machine returns to the previous location and continues with the file. The HAL lines for this are: loadusr -W hal_manualtoolchange # in case they were linked already unlinkp iocontrol.0.tool-change unlinkp iocontrol.0.tool-changed linkpp hal_manualtoolchange.change iocontrol.0.tool-change linkpp hal_manualtoolchange.changed iocontrol.0.tool-changed linkpp hal_manualtoolchange.number iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number You can specify the location to move to in the ini file: [EMCIO] TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION = 0 0 2 If you prefer to use only tkemc, then the button you are looking for is the one marked Resume, in the center just above the program listing.

[Emc-users] M0 vs Cycle start button
First post here, I hope I don't mess up :-) I began using emc2 for my little PCB milling about a month ago. It's great! It works very well, and best of all I can use networking of linux to get files, as opposed to floppy and DOS with turbocnc. I have a little question though. When comes time to drill my PCB, the CAM programs tries to use many drill size and so I must change tools. For this, I must manually change the drill. I tried to put a M0 immediately after the M06 command to give me time to change the drill. The problem I have is I just can't get the program to continue after the M0. The Run button on the Tkecm interface start back from the beginning, Resume seems to work only with Pause. In the manual, it is said that one must use the Cycle Start Button to continue after a M0 or M1 command. Where is this button?. If I take a look at the demo_mazak project, there is mention of this, but I just can't find where is the linked pin to the HAL interface. They create a signal, then link this signal to a hardware pin, but not to a software pin. Am I missing something? Ah, and while I'm here. Is there any way to slow the backlash compensation? I have little backlash in my mechanical device and when changing direction, the axis bang at what seems maximum speed to compensate for backlash. I'd prefer a smoother action. Is it possible?
