Is there a bug in the carousel component or am I doing it wrong ATC Denford was created by Adam Maszynotwór
Hello, I'm starting to restore a lathe from scrap.
My problem is ATC (we'll get to the original ATC when I start the model)
Test model:
Step PIN8 dir PIN9 LPT stepper motor
Microstep 1600
4 pockets
1 gome sensor (pocket 1)
Head lock by left rotation (example video from the web)
Component linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/carousel.9.html
Basic lathe configuration
Symptoms:
T1M6 after starting linuxcnc looks for HOME and rewinds (strangely but it does rewind)
Each successive tool, e.g. T3M6, no longer rewinds
When I start from T2 M6 it passes HOME (activating it) but no longer rewinds while in position
My observations:
Dir changes but there is no movement. which means that there are no pulses flowing to PIN 8.
M66 waits for READY signal even though nothing is happening. Only after time has elapsed does the DIR state change and then it is READY
all files below
As you know I am not strong in HAL and in English please write as if to a child

What languages are you good at?
I have encountered issues with the G4 command before.
HAL ≠ G-CODE

For some reason, when I wrote G4 P1000, the program paused for far longer than 1000ms or 1 second.
No clue why.
What GUI are you using?
In theory, it should not matter, but it might make a difference.
I think QtDragon has toolchanger functionality.

Don't worry about the toolchanger until the rest of the machine works.
It's not a 100% essential component.

I'm not good at typical programming languages. I'm best at G-code.
Here, G4 has to be because after reaching the pocket, the READY pin is active so the toolchange procedure runs without moving the engine
Yes, I know that ATC is not a priority, but I'm asking in advance (I'll eventually write ATC on CL .. I think that thanks to the knowledge I've gained from trying to start CAROUSEL, I'll manage, and if not, I'll treat it as an axis and use g-code)
This machine is a challenge because:
I've never used a tool magazine
I've never done anything on servos
I didn't have a Mesa card either
and here it will be all
GUI AXIS
