Hi all
I was writing a new comp for thc boxes.
FIRST OF ALL I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER
So ,please, apologize if the program has a bad style
I believe is now ready for testings ( I am using it since two mounts and look fine ...)
BUT STILL EXPERIMENTAL (off course:-)
Hoping someone will find it useful

Hi
I am looking at a number of possible THC configs and yours looks about the easiest one to implement. I see it has been some time since you posted this, is it working ok?
I will make some changes to use my own THC.
I have to ask, why are all the THC configs so complex and your look simple? Is it because you use a component?

Hello
Yes , look so simple because all the heavy stuff has been integrated in the COMP.
I was having problems to find a Gcode to set offsets , so I try to modify a thc comp for i520.
Finally I realize that was better rewrite the entire comp .
Was my firs attempt to write a realtime program and I think this can be done much better from someone with more experience in software
( I am just an harware technician learning C language).
I was implementing more and more inside the comp and at the end the comp make all the complicated job .
We are working more than year without problems , but just on one machine .
The comp is made to work with my own digital height controller but may work with others Thc boxes ,
off course you will loose the possibility to change from user interface Axis the cut voltage, but it will vork fine .
I will be more then happy to help you to test this comp on your machine.
Best regards

I am glad to hear that it works well. I will make use of the comp and change it to suit my own THC setup. I will let you know how it goes and probably ask many questions along the way.

Hope your skill in C programming is better than mine ,
so we toghether can make a nice comp and manuals for this community.

I started to test my machine. Not the plasma side just yet. I made some changes to your code to work with my own setup but the bulk is still the same.
I found that the Z axis is very sluggish under manual control or jogging. Do you find the same?
What is your server thread time period set to? I think this might have an influence here.
