Welcome to LinuxCNC.org

How stupid, now it's working. I was pretty sure that I did not get anything on the terminal on print but I'm the lucky guy now. I have even found hal_widgets.py and also made progress with the foreign HAL pin.

Thanks a lot for your help Michael. I am sure there will be more questions to sort out later. I will now start with the probing functionality and after that I will get into the tool changing process and take a deep look into the [url=http://http://emc.mah.priv.at/docs/remap/html/remap/structure.html]Extending EMC documentation[/url].

I have now finished the first part of my tool panel and my probing tools is up and running. Next part is tool changing and I have read the Extending EMC document as the first step.

In the second step I will try to use the feature 4.6. Making minimal changes to the builtin codes.

This is my setup in the myui.ini:

[RS274NGC]
REMAP=M6 modalgroup=6 ngc=toolchange.ngc

This is my toolchange.ngc:

O<toolchange> sub
M6
(MSG, move to probe position)
(print, move to probe position)
O<toolchange> endsub

It seams that toolchange.ngc are not executed because I did not get any massage in the terminal window or a message inside the linuxcnc window. Any suggestion what mite be missing?

Do I need to remove HALFILE=axis_manualtoolchange.hal that comes from the GladeVCP demo gladevcp_panel.ini?

By the way, I have also tried REMAP=M6 modalgroup=6 ngc=toolchange

Which version of linuxcnc are you running?

Remapping is available only in master.

LinuxCNC Version 2.5.0 on Ubuntu 10.04. What do you mean by "master"?

Ops..., I missed that.

I will take a look at "master" and see if I decide to install it.
