I have a tool changer that I would like to home at the same time as homing my axis. That way if I change tools, I don't have to re-home it each time. Does anyone know if that's a possibility? Or could I put a homing code into the toolchange ladder logic but to only run if it's homing hasn't been done. That "homing done" bit would be reset when I close the program.

Thanks for the help.

If you use the "carousel" HAL component that offers a home pin, that could be connected to joint.0.is-homing to make it home at the same time.

Perhaps you could wire up your ladder in a similar way?

I have the carousel attached to a stepper, not an axis(saving the axis for a and b), I'd just like to give it pulses for movement so ideally, I'd like to find the file that runs the homing procedure and get it to run a ladder file also. Is that possible? I guess I could just add a Home TC button under the Home axis but it would be nice to have it all in one so I don't accidentally forget.

You could OR2 all xxx.homing pins to detect any homing process and use that to start your carousel homing
