From your post:
loadrt carousel pockets=10 dir=2 encoding=index
loadrt conv_float_s32
addf carousel.0 servo-thread
addf conv-float-s32.2 servo-thread

You have loaded only one single conv, but you are adding the third conv.

addf conv-float-s32.2 servo-thread

should be

addf conv-float-s32.0 servo-thread
on all the lines where it is used.

Ok right now I'm out but I just try.

I understood what you said tommy light thanks
Thanks also to andy pugh for the link to the docs.

These two lines must be changed:

net car-pos-req motion.analog-out-00 conv-float-s32.2.in
net car-pos-s32 conv-float-s32.2.out carousel.0.pocket-number

in this way

net car-pos-req motion.analog-out-00 conv-float-s32.0.in
net car-pos-s32 conv-float-s32.0.out carousel.0.pocket-number

it's correct

thanks to all gmarconi2

NB how do you support the forum I can contribute to the maintenance?
is there a paid support?

You only have one conv_float_s32 and that is called conv_float_s32.0
In the 4th line of the HAL you are trying to addf conv_float_s32.2.

(Which is what the error message says).

Either change the "count=" in the loadrt line, or use conf_float_s32.0 in that HAL file.

The reason that the sample config uses conv_float_s32.2 is that conv_float_s32.0 and conv_float_s32.1 are in use in other HAL files.
(Maybe I should have used 0 in that HAL file and 1 and 2 in the other files).

Change to .0 throughout your file.

It is better if Andy replies to this, but as far as i know we all do this for free and most of us have full time jobs.
On the other side, i and some other members do retrofits or manufacture CNC machines so we get compensated for our work that way, too.
Thank you.

Well with the changes you suggested me axes and spindle work.

The toolchange procedure with MDI m6 tx command starts, moves x axis, then clearly stops with "error failed to move arm in" for lack of feedback.

Now my job is to connect input and output to the mesa 5i25 7i76 board, a connection I tried to do it, I expected high output in GPIO No. 17 TB6 board 7i76 with this connection in hal made in the toolchange_index.hal file.

net car-fwd carousel.0.motor-fwd => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output - 00

but by checking with the tester the signal remains low I had to do other things to connect outputs and inputs to the carousel function.

I think that some other folk here do retrofits commercially, but I don't, this is 100% a hobby for me.

There is no way to give money to the LinuxCNC project, mainly because nobody wants the hassle of deciding how to spend it :-)

The comments are correct if, and only if, you have configured the physical inputs to match.
