Hello.

>> Does anyone know how to use a VB script to read the angle of the spindle, which I got from the ENC module?

The M20 macro shows how to do this.

You can also see it in this article:

Take a look at this photo:

>> more precisely, I would like to position the spindle for ATC, set a small S and activate an output at a certain angle.

You can't count on high accuracy here.

>> Then hope that I will freeze the spindle.

You won't freeze the spindle! When the spindle enters the fork (into the changer socket), the spindle will rotate and the fork will be damaged.               

>> or maybe modify the M20 script

I won't modify this macro because it makes no sense.

Many customers had the same idea as you and always ended up buying a VFD with encoder input and the option of spindle positioning.

>> finances do not allow me a VFD with the possibility of positioning

In this case, use holders without the need to position the spindle.
