Raised it as an issue but aren not able to assign it to you.

I solved it for my carousel, that is among other things it have taken a few 
days before I raised by implementing a modular arithmetic component and g-code 
but it does not detect failure to rotate. I also guess ordinary angle sensor 
quadrature or absolute is very common so it would really make sense there is 
carousel component more or less ready to use with such an angle sensor.

It should be rather simple to implement or reimplementand it is possible I do 
it myself but orientation of spindle come first. While orient spindle work 
there are some backlash in gear box and tend to be overshoot because integrator 
windup before position is reached, the combination backlash + overshoot is not 
good so have to think a little bit how to make it work fast and reliable. 
Failure to align spindle is no good, bent a tool holder today but carousel is 
running as supposed to.
