So you are asking how to configure the actual io? That all depends what kind of physical interface you want to use. (parallel port, Mesa card...)

I presented everything in the first post
I used LPT (DB25, Parallel Port)
Thank you !

I see
Thank you very much !
I will try it
Thank you again !

Those are using G-code digital inputs ans ouputs:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m62-m65
Those are connected to hardware by one of the HAL files in the config. If you ran the demo then you will now have all the files in your ~/linuxcnc/configs folder, but the HAL file for the changer looks like this:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...toolchange_index.hal
If you are using a B-axis then you will have more G-code and less HAL to control things.

I've seen it many times before
It is my expectation
Can you share your configuration?

Thank Eneias Eringer very much!
Your configure make me understand port config (parport.0 is Parallel port, pin-xx is pinout of Parallel port)
Thank again !

I'm curious as how to use it without making it an axis?
I'm in the middle of adding a ATC to my machine, I use mesa5i25 + 7i76, the carousel using stepper with step+dir signals with a home switch.
thanks a lot

The "carousel" HAL component can align a carousel to a tool number (using various types of feedback) without the carousel being a G-code controlled axis.

thanks, are you suggesting I have a secondary controller for carousel, and only expose a feedback of which tool it is at? I can definitely do that, but I think it would be more flexible to control the movement of the carousel directly from linuxcnc. e.g. if I want to move tool to 1, I'll execute gcode like g0 b1. but I also don't want to expose b as an axis in the UI

When your G-code says "T6" then the value "10" appears on the hal pin iocontrol.0.tool-prep-pocket:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man1/iocontrol.1.html
If you link that HAL pin to the caarousel component and connect a motor of some sort to the output pins of the carousel component then the carousel will move to that pocket number.
You typically need a G-code routine to move the axes in such a way as to perform the sequence, but at least the carousel comp can be used to position the tools.
Start LinuxCNC and then go to the virtual config sim/axis/vismach/vmc-toolchange for a demo config using corousel and a G-code subroutine.
