This is one of the very first test runs following successful integration of the CNC Depot ATC spindle with LinuxCNC on my CNC router - including automatic tool length compensation using a tool setter after tool change.
My CNC router was inspired by the Pro series machines from Avid, and a few of the parts were purchased from them - but the majority of it is scratch-built. The build is (partially) documented over at http://funkenjaeger.net/cnc-router/
My LinuxCNC configuration (HAL/INI, M6 remap, and qtdragon UI) is available on github for reference:
https://github.com/Funkenjaeger/fj-lcnc-cfg
The current commit, reflecting the configuration used in this video, is 097d8fe. Fair warning, the current implementation is very basic so far - things like error checking and general idiot-proofing are still on the to-do list. (For instance, it doesn't yet properly handle Tool #0, or use any sensors for feedback on the tool change process)
