I duplicated the x on the z with smaller axis length value

next window is the spindle

my encoder has an A channel, a B channel and an Index, 1800 pulses
I assume the direction is called by a pin, not by pos,neg voltage

sorry repeat

That seems wrong, and I thought that 8" cross-slide travel seemed a bit much for an Emco.

Z is saddle, X is cross-slide.

And both mills and lathes the Z axis runs along the axis of the spindle.

yeah I had it backwards. I will fix it

I was able to get the toolchanger working. over the past couple weeks its been quite a battle learning and implementing the programming to make the toolchanger turn on command T1 M6. I got that working 2 days ago. then spent another couple days getting it to work with buttons on GUI. But success last night.
