Man that is weird...

What is the version number of PlasmaC shown in the Config Panel?

Do you have [PLASMAC] MODE = 1 in the ini file?

The plasma cutter is powered off?

The flashing starts when the float switch is activated? If so, does it stop when the float switch is not activated?

Can you watch these pins while the flashing is happening?
Code:
halui.program.is-paused halui.program.is-idle halui.machine.is-on plasmac.arc-ok-out plasmac.arc_ok_in

PlasmaC v0.134
I have it on Mode 1
the plasma is not even powered on at this moment
the flashing starts when the float is activated and when its not activated it turns off. But when I have my plasma on and i connect the ground lead its starts to flash as well.

That is a fairly old version, June 9 2020. It would be worthwile updating, the latest is V191 Feb 22 2021. I shouldn't affect the issu you have but there have been a lot of improvements.

Do you have any values set in the Config Panel for Arc Voltage Scale and Arc Voltage Offset? If so can you see if the HAL pins plasmac.arc_voltage_offset and plasmac.arc-voltage-scale are the same as the Config Panel Settings.

Could you also post your complete config using the Backup button in the Config Panel.

Yes I entered the scale and offset already. I flipped the wires on the input pin and still the same. I disco the input pin wire for the arc ok from board and I activate the float and it doesn’t do that flickering. It’s only when I hook up the wires to the board.

How would I update the version here on computer I currently don’t have it hooked to internet. Would I need to hook it up?
