Could you do a video or know of a video on how to do this being a wizard in linuxcnc is easy to say and do? Maybe a short video on what needs to be done to add the Proma THC 150 to your existing axis configuration? Or to upgrade to the new plasmac?

Sorry I ended up moving to 2.9 on plamac configurator. Been messing with that since I couldnt get the proma config to work with v2.7 I have another desktop setup with v2.7 I will try again there to see if I can get it going. But I dont recall the error message it was giving me. I am new to linuxcnc so I have been learning as I go.

I know I got the v2.9 going but I have another computer with linuxcnc and I am trying to get the toma_thc installed and I got it all the way to opening up the gui but when I hit the toggle machine power on I get a error of *joint 2 on Limit switch error* I have looked over all the files and they are almost identical to my existing working files. I know joint 2 is z axis.

Also I am trying to activate the a axis as I have a y axis with 2 motors and I try to enable them I get the error and gui wont pop up.
I am on my windows laptop I will see if I can get the files so I can post them

Well some one had mention (not here) that it will be easier to move all the toma files on to my working machine folder and point the the toma ini to my working machine and change my inputs to match mine in which I did but then I was getting the error of it not turning on then I fix the estop command then I got it to give me the gui but when I hit the toggle machine power it gives me the joint 2 error and it wont let me do anything with the controls. So if i enter that config into my existing ini file it should work?
