    adding a stepper to a TL-1 lathe

    I want to use a stepper motor on a TL-1 lathe to turn an indexer for a tool post i'm making.

    I'm having alot of difficulty finding info on how to send output to it.
    I don't know what parameters to use to auxiliary output when a toolchange is called. (Instead of opstop and alarm when calling a T, I want to go to a subroutine that outputs pulses to my motor.) Any help would be appreciated.

    I keep coming back to M121 codes and M51-58 codes.

    Is there a comprehensive work on auxiliary add-ons to HAAS equipment?

    You will need an external BRAIN, something like simple logic from an output of your haas controller. IF you want to do it cheaply, PM me and ill show ya how
