But you can also control the sequence in G-code, which is clunky but has the advantage that you can include axis moves in the sequence easily. Take a look at sim/axis/vismach/vmc-toolchange for an example config (with a virtual milling machine so you can see the motions) (It uses carousel for the tool carousel control) The G-code routine that controls it is here: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/configs/sim/axis/vismach/VMC_toolchange/toolchange.ngc In this example the pocket number is sent from the G-code to the carousel by M68 (analogue output) M68 E0 Q#<selected_pocket> ;set the carousel to move to the right pocket And the carousel is enabled/disabled by a digital output from the G-code M64 P0 ; start carousel -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
