Turret rotating wrong way

Try swapping one set of coils over on the stepper A or B.

Or try changing the sign on this line setp stepgen.2.position-scale 33.446

to setp stepgen.2.position-scale -33.446 (but use your number in scale)

net ATC-enable <= iocontrol.0.lube => toolchanger.enable => stepgen.2.enable

Am I correct in thinking you are borrowing this iocontrol.0.lube Pin as a signal channel ?

Not exactly sure what you are doing there but the idea of toolchanger.enable is to connect it to a signal that reflects the state of the machine enable (eg you would not want it enabled if the machine was in estop)
Note that if you want to reuse a signal then you need to use the same signal name. So if your 'iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in' pin was already connected like this:
net yoursignalname <= iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in ...

then you can connect it to another pin by connecting that pin to the same signal:
net yoursignalname => toolchanger.enable => stepgen.2.enable

 

Hmmm,
Turret is moving 90degrees per each movement and not 45..

Sounds like you need to adjust the scale for the stepgen.

Found it.
Naughty jumper on the driver was set at FULL not HALF

Hi, will this work for the older version 2.7 I have a Boxford 160 tlc I'm struggling to set up any help would be appreciated ...
