About the files, this ATC is quite a specific design for my router.
It was a tricky design with regard to the work area and clearance so I'm not sure this should be a baseline for anyone.

On a typical mill I think the design would be a bit different, same principle but hanging from the top and therefore most of the dimensions probably will change.

But I can share the geneva wheel and drive and how it's setup with Probe Basic, if it works out, no problem if someone wants it.
Happy to give something back to the community. :-)

yes you want to use the geneva pin for the pocket index so its in the locked position. for homing, you could configure it a few ways, but typically i would use the home switch + the index switch so when homed it will be in the locked position of pocket #1. I was planning on using the same dumb motor step generator so please let me know how it works out for you. here is how my home/index is setup on my little atc build:

Thanks, I will try to set it up the same way with both sensors needing to be high for homing.

I've made a little setup with optical sensors and for indexing just added a "flag" to my drive wheel.
The homing sensor and flag are below the pocket which is the pickup location for the spindle, as it just happened to be a good spot.
