After looking at the manuals, my first guess is that the changer control is built into the main controller so LinuxCNC will need to do low level control. Also it looks like the carousel uses a servo motor and high count encoder like a regular axis. I have used a Limit2 (3?) component to good effect on my carousel but I haven't completed that project, so I can't put that feather in my cap yet. The spindle orientation hasn't become obvious yet. I'm tending to think two weeks to get the changer working would be optimistic. If it were my machine, I might get the draw bar to operate first, then if time runs out, parts could still be made with manual loading. This looks like a capable machine as is, is the controller completely dead? -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
