===Tool Change Macros===
From a software perspective, executing a tool change is as simple as invoking the ''T'' Command of the tool you want to pick up next. In code, it would look like this:
...
T1 ; After this command finishes, the machine will be holding "tool 1."
...
To handle this line, we need to write the behavior of the machine such that the tool is holding "tool 1" when that line of GCode finishes executing. Duet handles this by having us write a ''macro'', a short snippet of GCode that executes when the machine encounters a tool change command. There are 3 files that need to be added ''per tool''.
