I have more, I have 6, but Estlcam itself in its Macros for the ATC only has one command for the Unlock, Clean and Air Seal, but none for the last step, because that doesn’t seem to be a “normal” way of working for a spindle (though it’s a great feature). I could do it with manual toolchanges and program it correctly, but not with the automatic version probably. I will have to try when it’s here I guess.
I think I might wait for Christian whether he has an idea. 
I actually now think I am stupid and didn’t understand the whole setup. I have to specify the outputs, but the actual toolchange routine is being called in another menu, addressing the specific outputs. This is all complicated…

Hey Peter, where do you connect the sensor cables for whether the tool is in the spindle and is clamped correctly? To the VFD? The control board?
Controller if you want control or only led light if you want only see
Isn’t it supposed to stop the program automatically if it’s wrong? But a light would be great as well. Can I just connect it to an LED?
I am also now reading the handbook for the VFD and its settings, I think I understood it now. 
Also building the baseboard for my pneumatics, printing guides for the cable chains etc. Hoping to finish it this weekend.
Thing is I need to see it through when starting the spindle exchange, because I need the machine for production regularly. So can’t really mess it up…
conecting to stop input, or pause
