I´m retrofitting a Brother TC211 for UCCNC and now its time for the toolchange macro.
First of all, where do I find documentation about the macro programming and reference syntax?

Aah I looked there but I only registered the PDF files
I attached two pictures but they did not seem to show?

Ugh C#, why cant everybody stick with VB

Is it possible to debug the code?

if you look in your profile macro folder (in main uccnc directory) you will see macro errors.
make a shortcut to this file- on desktop etc.
it gives a good indication of errors.
note uccnc macros can be finiky about capitals etc-
it updates after every macro error at runtime

More questions
Whats the string to get a digital input?
Like setoutput port pin but instead get input port pin.

Got it "GetLED"

Done!
The toolchanger is controlled with an arduino.

Wow, nice job, you finished with this pretty fast.
Are you using the UCCNC modbus plugin to send data to the Arduino which then controls the ATC?

Thanks
I thought it would be a good thing to take one thing at a time so I made it simple so that UCCCNC i sending a combination of four signals that is the same as the toolchanger gives the arduino.
The little bit tricky thing was that I cant wait for the right signals on the toolchanger because then its too late to stop it and it will move on past the right position so I had to count the positions and then verify it with the sensors.

Attached is the macro if anyone is interrested.

Hi

How can you prevent the user to move Z up until reach atc zone?
