For reference, I don't use the carousel component but this is how my mill was set up: http://www.wallacecompany.com/tmp/Carousel_Position.png The chain has a foot mounted at the home position to activate the home switch. The pocket switch sensed when a pocket was in parked position. I seem to recall that the g-code called for X number of pockets forward or back, and did not keep track of pocket ID. (The Geneva has been replaced with direct drive and there is a position encoder on the carousel.) -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
