There is plenty of useful stuff there and several working configs that you could have found instead of wasting time with this reply, that now wastes my time replying to it.
Go read those.

that code is running a 3 ton industrial wood router (Biesse Rover) and does around 30-50 tool changes per hour.

Looks Good! You have files to share? Quick note: After you deposit a tool in the pocket, you can save a bit of time by simply moving left/right without having to move forward and back. But only after you've dropped the tool. Looking to do this for a AVID CNC. Also, what does the ATC screen look like? Or is that still the setup for carousel ?
