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.
