I can do that tomorrow, I am done for the day. It is definitely timing out though, it is returning with the error fault failure from the gcode file.

I changed to BCD coding, and now the pocket numbers on the turret match the position. The turret is still failing to pause for the lock. Is there anyway to watch the Gcode execution so I can see where this is stalling ? 

Once it errors out, carousel does not run until I restart LinuxCNC, I don't know how to find a bug like this, in either my work or I tripped on a issue somewhere.

You could potentially try single-stepping through the routine. You would probably need to load it as a G-code programme and add some setup at the beginning so that it is set up the same way as when called as part of a toolchange. 

Is it the "M66 P0 L3 Q60 ; wait for carousel finished" which isn't working? 
I don't see any connection in your HAL to motion.digital-in-00 which might explain it.

i was thinking that might be the issue but i can't find a declaration of what the gcode io calls relate toi started with the vmc grey sim to work from. i thought that was coming from a carousel pin. if not, where is it getting a signal or should it get a signal from ? turret lock switch ??

what would that be connected to ? i did finally figure out how to get the m-codes for the dwell time working properly. 

what should motion.digital.in.00 get a signal from ???

It's waiting for a "toolchanger in position" signal, I think. 

So probably the carousel.N.ready pin. 

But what is the actual problem? Does the carousel rotate to the correct position then sit there until time-out?

Ok, so here is my current hal file, made a note with the addition

The problems I am having are multifaceted. 

1. my turret needs more release time, I can hear the mechanism scrape when motion start, so I am adding a delay in gcode after the unlock

2. the strobe is seeing some overshoot on motor shut off, I am adding a delay after strobe, I may institute debounce

3. the turret is not locking because the turret has to much inertia to halt suddenly and for the stobe/index ram to position is correctly, so the lock command happens to soon after car-fwd stops, I fixed that in gcode tonight. I didn't realize I had to add the m6x commands relevant, I thought that the interpreter would just assume it was all the same command, my misunderstand there on the new line issue. 

4. the configuration I had runs in the vismach grey with all of my changes, so I find it confusing. 

After a tool change, and it is getting to the correct pocket, even matches the oem numbering on the turret which is nice, I cannot get a tool change to happen unless I restart linuxcnc, and the last few errors I got were carousel not locked. So I do have a fix for that now.

here's my gcode with the additional Dwell times added to deal with mechanical limitations 

 o<toolchange> sub



; only unload the tool if there is a tool in the spindle
; This assumes that the carousel is already aligned correctly. 
; It is important to unload the tool before shutting down the machine. 



   

O100 IF [#<selected_tool> GT 0]
    G53 
   
    M65 P1 ; unlock carousel
    M66 P1 L4 Q1 ; wait for locked=false
    M66 G4 P0.5    
O106 if [#5399 LT 0]
        (abort, failed to unlock carousel)
    O106 endif

    
    M68 E0 Q#<selected_pocket> ;set the carousel to move to the right pocket

    M64 P0 ; start carousel
   
    M66 P0 L3 Q60 ; wait for carousel finished
    M66 G4 P0.5
    
O107 if [#5399 LT 0]
        (abort, failed to align carousel)
    O107 endif
    
    M65 P0; stop carousel
    M65 G4 P1.5

    M64 P1 ; lock carousel
    M66 P1 L3 Q1 ; wait for locked=true
    O108 if [#5399 LT 0]
        (abort, failed to lock carousel)
    O108 endif

   

    

O200 ENDIF

This issue is likely to be with the iocontrol.0.tool-prepare -> iocontrol.0.tool-prepared and iocontrol.0.tool-change -> iocontrol.0.tool-changed handshakes.

You probably want to connect the tool-change/changed directly to each other, but have the carousel alignment in the middle of the tool-prepare/prepared chain. (As I think you have)

so, if I'm reading between the lines here, the hal.is being executed top to bottom ?

I'm a bit lost here, if you indicate i have it properly then I'm more confused, btw, i made a note in my hal code above, is that the correct addition to the hal.file ???


thanks for any clarification

Yes, though as long as the component pins exist before you try to net them it doesn't really matter what order you do things in.

I don't think so as you are already using the signal name "car-ready" for what seems to be a completely different purpose.

You have
#asign to turret unlock switch
net car-ready    <= hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.input-01
Though as that currently is it isn't doing anything as the value of _that_ car-ready isn't going anywhere.
