THC Up Down Simulator was created by BigJohnT

I created a THC (Torch Height Control) Up Down simulator based on the Axis simulator.

This simulation is to demonstrate how the thcud component works with an Up Down Plasma THC device.

In order to use this simulation you will have to install the thcud.comp that is attached to this message.

if you don't have dev installed open a terminal and say

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev

to install open a terminal and cd to where the file is and use the following command

sudo comp --install thcud.comp

Example terminal session
john@zotac:~$ cd linuxcnc/thcud
john@zotac:~/linuxcnc/thcud$ sudo comp --install thcud.comp
[sudo] password for john: 
make KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS=/usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/modules/linuxcnc/Module.symvers -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-122-rtai SUBDIRS=`pwd` CC=gcc V=0 modules

I have no clue, the THC300 configuration is so complicated that only one person in the world AFAIK has made it work and that was the author. It really should not be part of LinuxCNC anymore... IMHO.

I do agree!
Also some other stuff should go away ore be placed in the correct position.
There are several sim configs in the config folder, insteadt of being in config/sim

Tahnks for the files!

Can you paste the complete output of the sudo halcompile --install thcud.comp command?

Are you trying to add thcud to a very old version of LinuxCNC or EMC or did you modify it? It's been in LinuxCNC since 2.6 or so... if you modified it pick a new name.
