qtdragon - new tool length after a manual tool change

I got in touch with peter dam ... from talla83.de. last year he wrote a script for dynamic tool measurement.
asked him if you can install it in qtdragon.
he has agreed and approved to use it.

here is a video on youtube:

and here the script:


Maybe it will help you.
it can perhaps be so integrated that it can be activated or deactivated under settings for those who do not need it.

So now that we know it's a remapped tool change that adds probing - It's not a qtdragon issue it's a configuration option.

If it's common enough I suppose I could add an example config - the problem being that the complicated sample configs often don't work if you move them because file path references (of macros for instance) are not very flexible to change

Hi,

Would it be a lot of work to incorporate your own macro, what does this measure after the tool change?
maybe you can integrate it so that you can activate or deactivate it when you don't need it.

Those macros included in qtvcp are primarily to probe work pieces for a mill.
Remapping tool changes is a different configuration process - not related to screen files.
So there is nothing to incorporate into qtvcp, you must remap toolchanges with INI changes and python remap files.

I don't think there are any samples in the official docs - probably would be a good project to include.

Hi,

would declare myself ready to test when the time comes.

unfortunately i have no idea about python, i'm learning it.

Notice the modified version of Qtdragon. There it is possible to use the WZ-Probe macro. forum.linuxcnc.org/qtvcp/38247-sample-qt...eens?start=30#168892 If you are interested, I have a version with the latest changes.
