Ok, so here is my current hal file, made a note with the addition
The problems I am having are multifaceted.
1. my turret needs more release time, I can hear the mechanism scrape when motion start, so I am adding a delay in gcode after the unlock
2. the strobe is seeing some overshoot on motor shut off, I am adding a delay after strobe, I may institute debounce
3. the turret is not locking because the turret has to much inertia to halt suddenly and for the stobe/index ram to position is correctly, so the lock command happens to soon after car-fwd stops, I fixed that in gcode tonight. I didn't realize I had to add the m6x commands relevant, I thought that the interpreter would just assume it was all the same command, my misunderstand there on the new line issue.
4. the configuration I had runs in the vismach grey with all of my changes, so I find it confusing.
After a tool change, and it is getting to the correct pocket, even matches the oem numbering on the turret which is nice, I cannot get a tool change to happen unless I restart linuxcnc, and the last few errors I got were carousel not locked. So I do have a fix for that now.
