In trying to keep off of Chris Kelley's thread about his newly running machine, I think Pete should look at this component, I think it will work straight off for your Cinci, I believe it is binary coded for the carousel position, we have a 1996 Sabre-750 in house, with the original control on it, that has the same tool carousel on as yours, I can't remember what machine you have though, one of the weird names cinci used for there machining centers.
Look at this Pete, Quoting Andy, I have written a hal module specifically for carousel control. I hope to put it into mainline LinuxCNC eventually, but at the moment you can try it out in a simulator config here: (Full Vismach model with spindle orient and carousel motion) http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/24-hal-components/29153-vmc-related-hal-questions?limitstart=0#58732 Andy, have you had a chance to look at that "index" style feedback you commented on, regarding our machine? I really like the ease of use you put into that component, and would love to run it on our machine.
