I am in North Carolina in the USA, you are thinking of Joco in NZ..lol

yes you want to use the geneva pin for the pocket index so its in the locked position. for homing, you could configure it a few ways, but typically i would use the home switch + the index switch so when homed it will be in the locked position of pocket #1. I was planning on using the same dumb motor step generator so please let me know how it works out for you. here is how my home/index is setup on my little atc build:

 

yes because of all the confusion previously of how to calculate it I made it specific to the subroutine used to set it. not sure if I can make it both manually enterable and via subroutine easily or not. will have to take a look when i have some time again. I have been a bit covered up recently but hope in the next week or two to have some more time to work on the ui.

It is a issue in the component, it happened before where another USB ID for the shuttle was left out of the code and Andypugh fixed the code adding the missing ID. That was 5 years ago. The 011 shuttle ID was not added and is still not provided for in the code even though it is a valid ID for some shuttle pro devices.

Here is where Andy changed the code to add one of the missing USB id's
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/702

The shuttle docs list 3 USB codes for use in addding a rule but the 011 code is not mentioned.

For now I connected a shuttlexpress I had and that works fine (its ID is 0020 which is in theShuttle.1 source code)

Do not bother to much with the details for now, assume standard stuff, make some test configs, do some measuring to make sure the axis moves the exact distance as commanded, let it rip!
You can make as many configs as you like for the same machine, you can even edit the scale and some other stuff while LinuxCNC is running and save from there, using the "calibration" from the "machine" menu.
It would help to know the exact screw pitch, so mark the screw and the nut with a sharpie, turn the screw several times, measure, enter that in the wizard.
