I am very late to the game with Gsender and learned a lot on this forum, However, I cannot find how to let Gsender know the location of my Bitsetter. Can anyone instruct me exactly how to do that? I would be very greatful. Thanks, Tom

Thanks so much, I found this page just 5 mins ago and did exactly that. I then move my machine to center of table and I asked the macro that everyone has installed, to go to initial tool measure but unfortunately it does not go that location that I setup in tool changing. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Pretty sure this config setting only works for the built-in gSender tool change strategy - a macro would have it’s own internal configuration. May be a question for Sienci as to whether or not macros can access variables in gSender that aren’t saved in corresponding controller registers ($number things, since we’re still programming in the 80s here).
See my other thread, I’m also trying to understand how all of this stuff inter-mixes currently and it’s confusing as heck. I don’t believe there is a way to just interactively trigger a tool change (per your “go to the middle of the table and run the macro”) which is a bit confounding - I think it can only be tested/validated in the context of running a program, but I have more work to do to understand this. It’s definitely not clear or user friendly to get this stuff bootstrapped.
@tq55 as @drilling-vagueness said, if you’re planning to use your own macros then you’d have to set the location of your BitSetter through those macros. The setting @drilling-vagueness showed is only if you use our built-in g-code tool change wizard which, for the record, should also work with the BitSetter - but I can understand if people want to customize their setup more than the built-in wizard offers
