I think I can guess the problem. What bit-pattern is T8? I suspect that it is seen as zero and rejected.
If it is all-false can you confirm that that pattern is only seen at T8 and not in-between positions?

When I run M06 T08 the turret just keeps turning and never find T08 .

You are right ,The bit pattern for T8 is all zeros. The bit pattern does not change in between positions ,it goes directly from one to another .How can I get it to work with all zeros ?

A proper fix for the general case would be to have a settable flag to define zero = 2^(sense pins)
But, in your case, you could add a line to the carousel.comp file and re-compile it just for your system.
if you open a command line and type "halcompile -h" do you get an error or a help page? If it is "command not found" then you may need to install the "linuxcnc-dev" package.

OK, that means that you can compile HAL components.
If you download this file:
raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxCNC/linux...onents/carousel.comp
Then open it in a text editor (such as Geany) and change line 202-204 from
to
Then save the file and use the command

Great. That fix is rather specific to your 8-pocket changer, so I have created this issue to track a more generic fix:
