Hi,

I am seeing now that after homing current-position is 0. Why is this? It should be 1.

That definitely looks like a bug :-(

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...s/carousel.comp#L246

It sets P to 1, but the next time through P is set to current_position before cirrent_position is set to P.

There needs to be an extra line inserted:

    case 11: // waiting for index & pulse
        if  ( (! old_index) && (sense(0) && sense(1)) ){ // index found
            p = 1;
            current_position = 1;
            homed = 1;
            homing = 0;
            active = 0;
            state = 0;
        }
        old_index = (sense(0) && sense(1));
        break; // So that we don't see the tool1 pulse twice
    }

Ok,

Thanks for checking this. I also noted that when I command jog fwd/rev from my armatc component instead of carousel.ready I had to use !carousel.active because jogging does not need enable it also does not give ready flag. ATC is now working to about middle point of toolchange. I have to implement a spindle orient component tomorrow to go forward with tool change. Component that is readily made does not fit because this spindle does not have feedback from main shaft, only from motor and there is a gearbox between. Also it has mechanical pin that goes into hole to keep spindle still while changing tool. Lets see if I can make it happen....
