Trying to automate a hardinge octagon turret. I have a rotary air actuator connected to it with a solenoid to rotate and re-lock the turret. The problem i have is getting the macro to reset to tool#1 after tool#8. I'm not calling a tool number at this point, i just want it to index one position and change the number accordingly. How do i make it reset to 1 after 8? I've attached the macro

Try this in place of the code you have if you are just using the macro for testing purposes.

For the real macro you will have to add a few more lines as you will be removing the tool + 1 part I would imagine.


 ActivateSignal(OutPut20)
 Sleep 1200
 DeActivateSignal(OutPut20)
   Tool = GetSelectedTool() Mod 8
      SetCurrentTool( tool + 1)

hood, that was perfect. and yeah i have alot more to do. i'm sure it will be making parts before i ever finish it. Thats usually the way it goes.
