Look for emco cnc lathe compact 5 turret on YouTube and you'll see several videos of it operating, stock and modified. Stock, they are pretty at changing tools.This guy used EdingCNC and wrote a subroutine to operate the upgraded stepper motor he put on the turret. Quite speedy changes. The

I don't know if you've seen my attached picture before but it shows the signals during a complete turn of the turret (slightly more than a turn to be honest). The TOOL CMD shows the period of when the 24V are applied to the DC motor that drives the turret forward, about 3.3 seconds in time. The

Well, my M6 remap is an admittedly rudimentary "best shot" at it so the problem might in the code there. But unfortunately it doesn't work. It doesn't cast any errors but nothing happens when i run "M6 Tn". It "runs" for a while and then pauses. Does the Boxford use a gray encoding scheme or

It will increase by "1" after every (unsuccessful) completion of a fwd jog. After position 6 it will wrap around to 1, even though the index position isn't sensed. I understand if index isn't used after homing though. Do you know anyone who has used the carousel comp with this kind tool turret?

Even with the addition of that line the behaviour is the same. But since I'm a novice when it comes to LinuxCNC I just want to make sure I implemented the change correctly: case 3: timer -= fperiod; if (timer > 0) break; state = 4; motor_fwd = 0; motor_rev = 0;

Hi, I'm using "loadrt carousel pockets=6 encoding=index dir=1" and have mapped the home/index signal to "carousel.0.sense-0" and pocket/strobe to "carousel.0.sense-1". During homing the turret behaves as expected since it ignores the strobe - I suppose. After that it's stuck within the same
