Hello everybody, I am working on an ATC for my mill and intend to use the carousel component. My ATC has only one sensor that detects the pockets, it is a Geneva style ATC and the sensor is on the drive wheel and senses each rotation i.e. each step the wheel makes. There is no sensor to tell the system which pocket is facing the spindle. If the wheel rotates the sensor pulses for each pocket only.
Question now is how do I tell LinuxCNC which pocket is facing the spindle and how to home this thing? Do I need to add a 'home' sensor or a 'pocket 1' sensor? I am not quite clear on how this is supposed to work, could anybody shine some light on how the Carousel component works with sensor inputs like this?
