tool length probe confuguration

Hello,

My cnc miller is routing finde, but there was the problem with the tool changes and the correct length. I bought an TLS 02 as tool length probe. This an an simple 2 wire sensor. The sensor is correctly wired and i can trigger the sensor successfully in the halshow.

 I am using an 7i76e with gmoccapy an the tool mesaurement windows in the settings is grey and i can not changed anything. I have tried to find an solution, but i can not find, what is wrong with my files. Maybe one of you have an hint or solution ?

Best regards

Chris

Hello Andy,

i ve found one error in the ini, in the [HAL] sections the following was inactiv
#POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui_call_list.hal

But i have no idea, where i should take a deeper look

Best regards

Chris

Did you read the documentation?
I have documented very well, where you need to do entries and what to configre.
If the tool section in the settings page is grayed out, the configuration in the INI file is wrong or not complete.

Hello Norbert,yes, but to my shame i uploaded the old files in the start topic.I rechecked the settings an i think i have everything made, that you written in the manual ( from 6 to 7.1 ), but the tool measurement box is still greyed out. 

I have rechecked it 3 times, but i can not find any mistake, the only diference to yout manual is line 21 the custom_postgui.hal, if i uncomment this line, Linuxcnc exits with an error


Best regards

In your normal Hal file you are loading all at the end the manual tool change GUI from axis and you do connect there also the tool change signals, that is wrong.

Please comment all the tool change stuff in your main Hal file out the last 5 lines,
then activate the line 21 in postgui Hal file.

Start gmoccapy from a terminal and post the terminal output.
