dyna 3000 lathe to linux

has anyone run a dyna 3000 lathe?the few conversions ive seen for these lathes all seem to be running on mach.
mine was going to be a straight forward conversion to mach and already had the tool turret macro that somebody give me but now I want the lathe running on Linux.
the tool turret has a board with 3 slot sensors and in each slot a disc with notches in it the board will be wired up to the pmdx 126 see image. theres also a 24v solenoid that lock and retracts a pawl,im told id wire this up to the k1 relay on the pmdx.
the turret it rotated via a nema 23 stepper.
id be keen to know if anyone has put one of these lathes on Linux,

Hi

Yes it is possible.

The Orac toolchanger I wrote is probably the nearest to your ATC, although slightly different.
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Contri...oolchanger_component

If you attach your Mach M6 macro that will give a good idea.
I am also curious to see if it is based upon the one I wrote for mach many years ago

regards

thanks lads macro below that's all I was given ,its done the rounds I think and is being used by several on the zone.
the turret had a vexta pk 266-e2 OA 2 phase 1.8 step motor im hoping to still use, and on the axis's ive fitted nema 23 420oz steppers, originally both axis had escap steppers,thanks.

No nothing to do with me, mine was far more C like.

I will have a look later at the stuff you have provided

regards

Thanks both yes please do ArcEye,.

the orac toolchange component , should just about fit
apart from the operation of the pawl locking solinoid , which is easily controlled by the run relay output
the opto inputs may be in a different order , so that will need checking if you have the positional code

I thought id stick this up its the original drawing to electronics of the dyna it shows its a 1000 line just about everything has been ripped out aprt from the encoder ,the turret board,and limits,the spindle motor.
theres also a another slotted sensor on top of the spindle with disc,im told by a chap at cncdrive I can do away with this as well as the tacho on the spindle motor as the dg4s if bought to power the spindle motor just requires I plug the encoder in direct to that via a differential line module I bought. cncdrive.com/DG4S_16035.html he said theres no reason why I shouldn't be able to set this up in Linux.
