I have the toolchanger working as intended! I will post the revised
files later after I have tuned up the axes for the correct steps per
move etc. but I thought I'd post the rough solution for those interested.
After much studying of the code of hal file, the ini and the
toolchanger.comp I was almost ready to take up coding a new
toolchanger.comp that was much simplified (because I can't really
write C), but then I had another thought.
On comparing the Xylotex.ini and Xylotex.hal with any of the other hal
and ini for other BBB capes (CRAMPS, Probotix, BeBoPr, etc) I thought
I'd try and get rid of the PID function on the stepper motors as only
the Xylotex config has it and the others seem to work fine without PID
on the stepgen.
That was the fix.
After that I was able to make and break all the right connections and
now the toolchanger will cycle through the 6 positions and back up
after it has arrived at the final position (and I still have my X and
Z axis working).
Thanks again for all the help along the way.
Mike
