Just cause I'm curious, Why didn't you use classicladder to select tools from
your turret? It has timers good to 100ms min. Then you could use the tool pins
from emcmot to control the turret -automating tool changes to use regular T and
M codes,instead of using M101- or you could use

IMHO I'd say that's the best appraoch. Whatever you choose to display or
whatever language you wish to program with can easily send the proper
