The Carousel had stopped functioning after lengthy rebuild and testing, which required some addition adjustments. Then I found that the Carousel would stop in between bins, I finally figured out I had to inverse my counter prox, now everything works.

Nicely done! Thanks for bringing this to a close.
Question, is your carousel bi-directional? It seems as it took "the long way around the block" to get to tool 1 from tool 3?

If you set your G28 Z position to be the same as the G30 Z position, then you can eliminate the extra movement at the start of the tool change.

As Marty points out, there is something amiss with the code to choose the shortest direction (unless your carousel indeed can only go one direction).

Yes it is, but need to troubleshoot the Rev rotation on motor, I had it working, but will not rotate reverse right now.
