This is just to give you an idea, i use this on my plasma machines with laser cross.

Okay, I've been looking into this. I've already added exceptions for all the unique tools. The main feature I want to add now is the ability to switch tools between the spindle and carousel without unloading the tool from the spindle. To make that work, I need a way to store the current tool number somewhere temporarily.

At the moment, I'm trying to find a method to manually edit the carousel positions—specifically, assigning a tool number or 0 to each slot.

I think the simplest approach might be to build a custom UI. I’m not entirely sure how to implement it yet, but I’m imagining a subroutine that lets you set a given tool number into a specific carousel slot (addresses 4001–4012).

I briefly considered removing the randomisation from tool numbers, but that doesn’t really help with the main issue. What I need is a fast way to manually update the carousel—without relying on the machine to handle the full tool change process.

What's strange is that I haven’t come across anyone else doing this, at least from what I’ve been able to find. If anyone has suggestions, I’d really appreciate them.
