Use the code html tag from the menu icons. if it is too long wrap it with the spoiler tag

Here are the robot files...
Again these were written for my one one off use and are not up to the standards I would usually reserve for code.

The paul.py is my pythong code that starts and runs the robot.
api.py is moy modified version of the donra.ai api.py

The two stl files are the left and right gripper for the iso-20 toolholder.
Both printed on a form 2

Here are the modificatiosn I made to pathpilot v2.4.1
I modified two files...
remap.py and tormach_toolchange.ngc

My guess is these are probably more useful because one could use the simple modifications I made here and adapt them to any toolchanger scheme of any kind.

I've been using it a bit...
I now have the robot setup to do the right thing if its loading or unloading a tool not in the robots perview. (T>15)
Here are the modifications to the Tormach code for this.
The number 15 is hard coded ... iif any tool is over 15 it sends 0 for the tool number to the robot...
And it uses the prompting code in the ngc file to prompt the user to insert or remove the aproriate tool.

Yes, please. I would be interested.

Thanks!

That's a beautiful thing - I love it!
