HI TP, I tried both your version as well as TPS, TPS seemed to work slightly better, however both versions were not reliably seating the proper tool, I will try TPS's version tonight, but I think if there is a logic portion that says, "I completed the tool change, whoops Im at the wrong tool. Let me try again" That could work....

:)

Wow you are awesome, I will try the code tonight when I get home and let you know, I'll make a video of running.

I figure having that check in there will eliminate the worry of the wrong tool being seated and running/destroying stuff lol!

Looks like it's working great, however, can we put some code in there that says that if the turret stops and it's not at the right tool change, loop and try again?

Because the  inputs trigger the tool changer to stop, yet it really stops one tool after, and that's fine, I'll just mark what tool is what ;).

For example if get tool 1, tool 1 encoder is read, stops turret, really stops at tool 2 which is active 2 hi, that's ok just need some kind of checking logic.

Tps, u rock!

nope...still doesnt work :( it might change to the right tool, but then if you try to call up different tools, it might miss a tool or not...

Any ideas?

I got the pause to work properly by removing the while and wend functions!

But the turret is still not changing to the right positions,

heres a video
