For PlasmaC you just enter the physical pin that the float/ohmic is wired to, something like
hm2_7i96.0.gpio.006.in
Just check the input number and change accordingly .
In PlasmaC configurator.

Ok, will try that. Looks like everything is working. Just to make sure when I jog my z axis “ +” positive my torch should be moving down right?

Have read this:-

Note
Base machine configuration means a complete working system without any plasma connections. All axes should be working and tuned for best performance and all home and limit switches if installed should be operating correctly.
Important
DO NOT ADD ANY PLASMA CONNECTIONS SUCH AS TORCH_ON OR ARC_OK ETC. HERE, THESE WILL BE ADDED LATER DURING THE PlasmaC CONFIGURATION.
Recommended settings for the Z axis are:

Z MINIMUM_LIMIT should be just below top of the slats with allowances for float_switch_travel and tolerance. So if your float switch took 4mm (0.0157") to activate then set your Z minimum 5mm (0.096) below the lowest slat.

Z MAXIMUM_LIMIT should be the highest you want the Z axis to travel (must not be lower than Z HOME_OFFSET)

Z HOME should be just below the maximum limit

Important
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOME YOUR MACHINE, TOUCH OFF, JOG TO SOFT LIMITS WITHOUT CRASHING AND RUN SOME TEST G-CODE WITHOUT ANY ERRORS.
When and ONLY WHEN this stage is successfully completed can you configure PlasmaC on top of your working machine.

You can create a base machine manually or you may use existing configuration helpers:

Yep I found that topic. Got it working. And moved on to configuring my plasmac and I set go through the steps and it set up the configuration, I try to open it through a terminal command and I get permission denied. I figure it has something to do with trying with a bash command, how do I go around this. When open linuxcnc my configuration are not showing up either

Most probably you have run the configurator with "sudo", and that is not good, nowhere is the use of sudo mentioned in the configurator user manual.
Open file browser, right click on linuxcnc folder, click on properties. On the next screen select the permissions tab, set all to read and write.
