here my python code for automatic tool change on simcnc

https://youtu.be/NU5JjKYpowk
see youtube video up here (ablock off)

Python code for automatically change the tool on an ATC router and measure it if its value in the tool table is = 0, otherwise don't measure it.
For SIMCNC software with a Csmio ipS  controller
The homing in this code is done in the top right of your table with home values = Y0, X0, Z0. The working area is therefore in negative values. (can be modified)

(translation of the code incomming)

download:
ConfigMachine.py    
M6.py

Well done!
Also, think about the pneumatic tool guard.
This will protect you from soiling the spindle cone.

new script

when you use my m6.py you can cancel the measurement if the tool has already been measured, to save time, but each time you replace the tool, you must reset the tool table to let m6.py make new measurements

for that I created a script that I integrate has a button to reset all the Z of the tool table to Zero (see picture)

https://github.com/erwan56450/SimCnC/blob/main/PushButton/PushButton_reset_toolTable.py

how to install : https://youtu.be/OfvQqaUnNeQ

in my M6.py you can also force the measurement every time, it's longer, but it's more secure

Kind regards,

is your Digital input managing the tool detection sensor is on when tool in or Off?

hello me again, 

if your atc not ready yet. here a M6 for manual change.
Be careful anyway, this is not a safe way to change a tool, because the machine  is still "engage"
