Hey guys...
I'm using Linux for the first time for a lathe with a turret with eight tools, each in its respective position, sending an individual signal for each position and a turret locked signal.

Working cycle:
"Control system sends signal of tool change -->Motor running with positive rotating -->Toothed disks is disengaged -->tool holder disk rotating-->tool holder disk locating-->Control system receives the signal of tool holder disk locating and sends the signal of delay time of motor reversal rotating Motor running with reversal rotating -->Toothed disks is locked-->Delay time of"

I need to know if there is any component in Linux that supports this cycle, or if someone has already done something similar so that I can use it as a basis to create the tool change cycle.

Have a look at carousel component included with LinuxCNC:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/carousel.9.html
And posts on this forum regarding it

Also, there was similar functioning system on those small lathes, forgot their name, but there are plenty here...

I also have an automatic tool change that already works, but I'm prompted to do so every time I change a tool and have to confirm the tool with the OK button.
I don't know how to delete it from the system. It should run automatically without the OK button.
Do you perhaps have experience with this?
Kind regards
