Re: [Emc-users] Carousel component indexing/trigger problem

You mean that the Tn might work correctly even though the fwd jog doesn't? Will the carousel component behave differently if I request T4 from say T3 compared to forward jog from T3? I will try this out since my main goal isn't to jog around the turret manually but make it work for the intended

Not that elegant of a solution but I did some small changes to component.comp that made it work at least physically. I changed line 235 to: target = current_position + jog_fwd - jog_rev + 1; // Added "+ 1" The only problem I face is that the current tool number increase by two for every fwd

Many moons ago I converted a Compact5 to Mach3. I used a larger DC motor on the tool changer with a cam operated switch on the back end of the turret spindle to count tool positions. Tool changes took less than a second. I have a video on YouTube, filmed with a mouldy potato
