So the controller boards are missing. It looks like from the manuals there are also one or more relay or interface boards. What do you have working on the machine so far -- power supplies, axes, spindle, coolant, draw bar, ...? Just ordering and receiving parts can take buckets of time, let alone reverse engineering a complex system. LinuxCNC can handle the issues I've seen so far, but likely not in two weeks. Using the carousel like a rotary axis could work. My carousel uses the encoder index and a chain index to home to tool 0. From then I use the Limit comp to smooth the movement between the encoder counts for one pocket space times the number of pockets. For a g-code version, I suppose each pocket will have an angular position. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
