Hey Andy

I got it compiled and rotating

And homing

But I'm getting a error message

"The toolchanger has failed the final alignment check"

Then when I turn the carousel enable off and back on the motor rotates a
few pockets.  And it keeps doing this.

Do you have any ideas

I'm loading the carousel component with
Loadrt carousel pockets=16 dir=2 encoding=counts num-sense=1

And I have one sensor for home

And feeding carousel.0.counts-target to hm2_7i92.0.stepgen.00.position-cmd

And I have a step gen set up.

Also when I trigger the carousel.0.jog-fwd it doesn't change.

Cheers Andrew
