Subject: Whats the easiest toolchange program to write?
Hi,

What is the easiest way to stop the spindle and wait for a tool to be changed?

Can I just copy the MDI.cpp example and run m05 m00?

Will I be able to jog while the program is paused?

Thanks,
Ryan

There is absolutely no need to write any C code just to do a toolchange. Turn off the spindle and coolant in the G-code. If you need to do a manual toolchange, then put an M00 in the G-code, followed by an M6 Tn, then turn spindle and coolant back on.

Regards,
Ray L.

Good point, I just replaced m6 with m0 in the post processor and it works perfectly.
