I did answer my own question, I added a dwell time, then called the m39 from the m40, using subroutines.
John, I am not sure how to use the M6 command to put the currently loaded tool away, back into the carousel. I am just doing this that way if the operator knows he needs to shut linuxcnc down, he can put the loaded tool away, and start it back up, without a tool in the spindle, and not confuse the hell out of the ladder logic and carousel component. I tried starting it up and using the M61QXX command, which works, but when you go to change the tool, the carousel is still sitting on pocket 1, ( haven't figured out how yet, I specify yet, to get the carousel to index to pocket XX that is set with the M61 command ) so it will try to put tool XX, into pocket 1, which would probably already have a tool in it.
