Tool in spindle memory

Are there any news for implementing spindle tool memory? I implement no random toolchanger, just need to remember the tool after restart


RANDOM_POSITION_TOOLCHANGER = 1
this remember tool but put it randomly in pocket, can someone think option to connect pocket and tools to be same number...

Hello.
The random tool changer works, remembers the last tool (after adding the 5400 variable in the .var file).
One question is left.
How to put the tool in spindle in an empty pocket? (if needed)
T0 M6 - not helps. (as usually in manual tool change)
In the tool table there is no T0 P0 line...

Helped:
Added In the tool table the T0 P0 line
Changed the toolchange.ngc
O100 IF [#<selected_tool> GT 0]
to
O100 IF [#<selected_tool> GE 0]
 

I have also implemented random toolchanger on my lathe. It works to remember the right tool in the machine. A problem that have occured quite a few times is that when I update tool offsets the tool number in use changes.

For instance, tool 7 is in use and I update tool 3's offset in the tool table. Save, reread, reload. Then tool 7 becomes tool 11 or 12. Well, some other random tool number. I could not deduce a specific pattern so far and it does not happen every time.

Hello,

today I stumbled across this error and I might be able to provide a useful hint.

I am using Probe Basic 2.9.3 and if I have NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1 in my ini, it remembers the tool.
If I have NO_FORCE_HOMING = 0 in my ini, it won't remeber it.

I guess it sets the tool in the background with some MDI command and it can't execute this command, if it is not allowed to execute a MDI command because it is not homed.

I added #5400 in my .var and with every toolchange it changed that value to the toolnumber.
Whenever I started PB with NO_FORCE_HOMING = 0, it changed the value of #5400 to 0 right after PB started.

I don't mind using NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1 but that causes Issues with the "REF-ALL / HOMED" Button in the Probe Basic UI because that one uses the "status:all_axes_homed" from the QTDesigner and this status only works with NO_FORCE_HOMING = 0...

If someone knows any workaroud, let me know
