I use HAL comps for my changers. My lathe has a simple one:

because I just need to turn bits on and off at the proper time.

My mill comp will be much more complicated but uses the same sort of
method of looping through and checking status, reacting, then setting
new status. Karl made a comp for his mill:

I move my carousel with pwmgen and limit3, but so far there is no way to
to move any axes other than with the .ini parameters you mentioned
before. I am very reluctant to use machine dependent code, such as for a
changer, in my g-code files.
