Simple tool change

lyndon

Hi All I now have the hardware and wiring sorted for my new switching extruder. It uses a servo to move tool0 or tool1 into position. So in Tpre0.g I have
M117 "Selecting Extruder0"
M280 P64 S40
And Tpre1.g has
M117 "Selecting Extruder0"
M280 P64 S132
Simple enough the servo moves to 40deg or 132deg and moved the tool nozzles.
If I send the commands in the Gcode console or macro that works fine, provided all axes are homed.
However I am unable to get my simply3d gcode to call Tpre0 or Tpre1.
Start of Gcode file.
G90
M82
M106 S0
M140 S55
M190 S55
M104 S205 T1
M109 S205 T1
G28 ; home all axes
T1
G29 ; bed leveling
G1 Z5 F3000 ; lift
G1 X30 Y20 F1500 ; move to prime
G1 Z0.2 F3000 ; get ready to prime
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 Y80 E30 F600 ; prime nozzle
G1 Y100 F5000 ; quick wipe

This should be simple enough but I can't find the issue.
Any help appreciated.

those are not valid RRF Gcode but AFAIK will probably not cause this specific issue (Use G10 to set temperatures, not sure how to get S3D to do this).

When a specific tool is selected (using Tn) the the TfreeN.g from the previously selected tool is run, followed by the TpreN.g of the tool being selected, followed by the TpostN.g of the now selected tool. So far so good, however did you have T0 or no tool selected when you started? if T1 is already active then sending the command again wont run the macros.

To test, from the console send T0, T1, T0 etc and confirm that the macros do what is expected.
