Hi,

I'm using a 7i76e + thcad 300. When I turn on linuxcnc it shows an error message that plasmac already exists.



I have a funcitonal base machine XYZ.
Run the configurator and put the io pins
Can see the float switch working but the torch on output not.

Hal,ini, and connections.

André,
Thanks

Could you run your config from a terminal and post the messages.

Hi Phill,
Thank you for you reply.

When I run LinuxCNC does not show the window "LinuxCNC errors" but it shows an error bottom-right in the photo above.

I use the configurator of plasmac user guide.

Somehow, I can't turn on the output of torch-on using the GUI button.

What Phill has asked you to do is to open a terminal window and type linuxcnc at the command line prompt and press enter.
Then share the error messages printed in that window.

This is the best way to check for errors.

From your ini file:
[HAL]
# required
TWOPASS = ON
# the base machine
HALFILE = pronum.hal
# the plasmac component connections
HALFILE = plasmac.tcl
# the plasmac machine connections
HALFILE = pronum_connections.hal
# use this for customisation after GUI has loaded
POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui.hal
# required
HALUI = halui
.
You have 4 hal files but you only list 2 in the post above. I don't see this one: plasmac_config.hal .Not sure if this helps

I think the real issuue is an error in plasmac_config.hal. Can you post it?
Fromthe tail of your screen dump.
plasmac_config.hal:1: Unknown command 'outputs'
'halcmd -f plasmac_config.hal' exited with 1

This may or may not be your doing

Can you zip the complete config directory and post it.

EDIT: Actually you may be missing the # in front of outputs in plasmac_config.hal.

It should look like:

My plasmac_config is a bit different.
Put the # before the outputs.

A number of config files in your RAR file have 0 bytes including plasmac_config.hal
