Gmoccapy Tool Change Dialog was created by electrosteam
Still on the learning path of Gmoccapy.
Now trying to get the Tool Table to work.
I do not have a tool changer in operation, just manual.
On my Axis GUI, "Tn M6" initiates a pop-up dialog box with a prompt to accept tool number "n", and Continue.
Gmoccapy does not, it just stalls without an error declared.
Dug into the Hal files for Axis and Gmoccapy.
Discovered a Section " ... Use external manual tool change dialog ..." in the Axis file but not in the Gmoccapy file.
Perhaps I entered an incorrect response in the PnCConf Wizard when I generated my Gmoccapy install.
But, my searching found old posts that suggested inclusion of this section in the gmoccapy_postgui.hal file.
My Axis postgui.hal file is empty.
My gmoccapy_postgui.hal contains similar entries, but with differences.
This is my gmoccapy_postgui.hal file:
# ---manual tool change signals to gmoccapy's dialog---
net tool-change-request => gmoccapy.toolchange-change
net tool-change-confirmed <= gmoccapy.toolchange-changed
net tool-number => gmoccapy.toolchange-number
Is this correct ?
Is there anything else I should do to get the Tool Change Dialog working ?

Take a look at:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html//gui/gmoccapy...l#_tool_related_pins
It seems that you are missing the iocontrol connections. Putting these into the postgui file is correct.
