So i have come some way on the BMC30, adjusted the PID:s a lot and the controller on the Servos as well, where certain I had some balls in the ball nuts where cracked but now I think  it was just the PID:s that were set way to stiff.

But know it seems to work quite good for the moment at leas good enough to progress to the ATC.

I have chosen to go with Probe basic as UI and now i struggle to understand the setup.

My machine that has a 24 pocket carousel ATC that is using a pneumatic motor for the tool changer and grey code encoder. The encoder is a 10 bit encoder which I have hooked up all the bits for and now I am trying to figure out how to digitally connect these to the software but I am not certain how to do this.

Anybody that has any experience how to setup such a ATC or can point me in some kind of direction?

There should be some configs attached there for BMC20, might help you get an idea but i do not think neither use Carousel component.
Edit,
this one uses gray code for 8 tools i think, was way to long ago.
