Rack Tool Changer

Hi, How do we know the latest version includes this feature?

when it becomes merged there will be some notes, it will be a pretty big update announcement.

That sounds great! Is there a release candidate / date already on the horizon? Im really interested in the rack implementation.

There is a working branch but I haven't had time to work on the macros. All the UI work is done though.

Any update?

waiting on knoxmachining to finish the macros as he has a machine to test on. the framework in probe basic is complete if you want to write your own macros. he has had some work keeping him pinned down unfortunately. hopefully he will get some time freed up soon.

Hello



Here I have a macro, I don't know if it is useful for the work you are talking about

the macros will be very specific to probe basic. the setup of it is done inside the ui to try an make it as simple as possible for those using a stationary rack. the graphic requires some IO to show the tools in the rack also. it would require alteration for a moving rack such as yours. but thank you for the offer!

That's awesome it is moving forward.
I'm not in a huge hurry at the moment but I'll probably be pretty interested in testing out the dev branch once it's available.

Unfortunately I have confirmed that especially the projects I would be most interested in using my rack with will need some real chip protection. So I need to design some kind of pneumatic, electric, solenoid powered cover or something like that. So it would be kind of a novelty till I get that implemented. Hopefully I can pull that together pretty soon though.

It will be noted on the splash page
