I use 2.8 and gmoccapy, I looked at configuration examples for a long time, but I didn't understand anything. Now I ask for help.In the attached ATC file fragment. First, I want it to just find an index, and then I will add ARM and other settings.Of the sensors so far only HOME. A component of the latest version from an adjacent theme.
I cannot understand what the following signals should be connected to, especially the first 3 (driver outputs counts-target):
net carstep parport.0.pin-02-out stepgen.0.step ???
net cardir parport.0.pin-03-out stepgen.0.dir ???
net car-motor-counts carousel.0.counts-target
net car-motor-fwd carousel.0.motor-fwd
net car-motor-rev carousel.0.motor-rev

With your current configuration, I would expect the carousel to search for an index when activated by motion.digital-out-02 (which would be an M64 command from the G-code)
You seem to be using the stepgen in velocity mode, which is certainly possible, and is the only way to do it with the older version of carousel in the 2.8 version.
However, you might want to consider installing the version from 2.9 which can be used with a position-mode stepgen.
