proma zip file

Does linuxcnc start with any config?
What version of linuxcnc? What version of Proma THC? More information would be helpfull.
And Linuxcnc does not use screensets, it has several graphical user interfaces and some can be modified.
Are you trying to use that config with Mach3 ? That will not work as it is not made for it, it works with Linuxcnc only.

After unzipping the proma.zip, right click on the "thc_toma.ini" file, select "open with", on the next screen click on the "enter command" and under it write "linuxcnc". That will start Linuxcnc with that config, so you can check if all the LED lights are off on the right side panel.
For info on how and what to change to suit your setup, please read the included howto file.

Edit the thc.hal file, there are already lines of code for inverted inputs so all you have tobdo is ommit the active line and remove the # in front of the other line.
You have to edit the ini file to your needs for velocity and accelerration and scale.

further to my earlier msg, pls let me know which file i should edit in order to OFF the lights.

by the way, this proma zip file is for PROMA THC 150. Does it also work on PROMA THC SD？

Thanks

And this config does not work with Proma THC SD, for that you need a normal config as the SD will do it's own moving of the torch.

The "normal" config is one you can do with stepconf wizard and it does not require any editing of files.
You do need a touchoff routine in gcode if you are using a floating head. There are several here on the forum made by users like BigJT or Rodw, give them a try and see what works best for you.
This is for Proma THC SD only.
For the Proma THC150 everything is already implemented in the config, and it does not work without a floating head.
