It would be very helpful if you actually said what you had found and provided a link to it. From the comments in the code, I can tell that it is one I wrote some time ago and posted here http://www.machinekit.io/docs/developing/toolchangers/ amongst other

By defining the axis as a LINEAR axis in the ini, and by messing just a little with toolchanger.comp (removed the adjusting for greater than 360 degrees - just let it accumulate) I am able to get repeatable tool changes for hundreds of tool changes - more than I expect would ever happen in a
