Hello! I’m having some issues with my CNC lathe that is operating on Linux 2.5. It’s a wood lathe with 6 axis wheels. Right now it’s not allowing me to ‘Home’ it. If there is somebody in this group that I can speak with I would appreciate the assistance. Thank you! 

Sorry for the late reply.

To do it all with G-code you would remove the carousel.comp from the system. It's not really helping if you define the changer as an axis.
(Note that you _could_ define the changer as an "extrajoint" if you really wanted to not have a spurious A axis appear in the GUI, but that's a topic for another day).

Your remapped toolchange routine has access to a set of built-in variables:http://linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gcode/overview.html#gcode:predefined-named-parameters

Your routine could use #<_selected_pocket>

So, your toolchamge.ngc would be something like

There is no tool unload in this routine, so it won't work as-is. But is illustrates the idea. It's a lot like the rack-toolchanger example in the sim configs.

The ethercat-conf.xml file came from the output of the command lcec_configgen


I replaced ethercat-conf.xml with your suggestions, and still get the same error

i tried typing sudo make setuid but u got make:: *** No rule to make target setuid. Stop

Hey, i have no idea what this means. I can tell you that I downloaded the linux cnc from here linuxcnc.org/downloads/ 2025 version, I made a bootable flash drive and installed it like this, initially I was using only the USB but then I installed it properly and it's the only thing on this PC.

could you tell me what I should do from here?
