Problem with homing ATC step motor

Will do it tonight.
But it looked the same on both the new and the old .comp.

XXX@XXX:~/linuxcnc$ sudo halcompile --install carousel.comp
[sudo] password for XXX
Compiling realtime carousel.c
Linking carousel.so
cp carousel.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/
XXX@XXX:~/linuxcnc$

Well, that looks OK.

You are running installed rather than run-in place LinuxCNC?

Is there any other carousel.so on your system?

Installed following instruction 7.1 in the following link

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/getting-linuxcnc.html

Is there any other carousel.so on your system?

I'll check.

The only carousel.so I find is in:
/ Usr / lib / linuxcnc / modules /

The carousel.so I'm using now comes from post 58732. If it does matter

If you revert to the previous carousel component code and halcompile that, does it then work?

Is it _definitely_ a problem with carousel? If you comment out all references to carousel does the system then load normally?

I am afraid that I am baffled then, as lots of people (including myself) have successfully used the new version so control lool changers.

There is less scope for weirdness than normal too, as Halcompile does most of the work, and that is well tested and compiles all the other components.

I suppose it is just possible that you are specifying an untested set of command-line parameters. What is your "loadrt" line?

loadrt carousel pockets=15 dir=1 encoding=bcd num_sense=5
loadrt conv_float_s32
addf carousel.0 servo-thread
addf conv-float-s32.0 servo-thread # G-code analogue outputs are float-type

I am back from my travels, I will try to look at this again soon.
I do wonder if 15 pockets (not a power of 2) is the problem.
(And 5 sense pins is one too many to encode 15 pockets)
