Remapped M6 hangs was created by nwallace
I am currently working on remapping m6 to work with an existing tool changer on a CNC router. I am using classicladder to control the atc and everything is working there. It properly rotates to the right tool pockets when the right digital I/O is triggered. I have written a change.ngc file to handle the tool change and am having difficulty getting it to work. Running tX m6 from mdi results in a forever running macro. You can interupt it but you need to restart linuxcnc afterward in order to use mdi again. I have started linuxcnc from the command line and I get no errors when I attempt to run an m6. I added a bunch of (print, ...) comments to see if I could find out where it would stop working but none of them show in the terminal window. Here is my m6 code (change.ngc) as well as my ini.

As far as I can tell, this should work. Obviously, I am wrong. I have read through all the documentation on o-codes and remaps and think I have a pretty good understanding of it. I assume I have missed something small or my understanding of how a remap works is flawed in some way. I would appreciate any help I can get.

I feel silly. The problem was that I had not connected the iocontrol tool-prepare pin to the tool-prepared pin. The system was just waiting for a signal that the tool was ready.
