That fits my workflow exactly. This machine will replace a smaller plasma running Mach4, so Samba will be very useful. I saw the “load latest” button in your YouTube video. That’s a cool idea.
With SAMBA, I can't remember exactly what, but in Windows there was a setting that needed to be enabled to allow Windows to talk to the linux drive. Good luck. I tried for years to do this, Now I've forgotten how...
Hehe, thanks. I'll let you know how that goes. I got my laser crosshairs and offsets working, next up is the THCAD-5 Ohmic sensing, then some fine tuning before this machine runs well enough to use.
You might find this useful. It contains my latest config for THCAD-5 ohmic sensing
I just load the supplied hal file from my in file. It will need editing to suit your config.
You need to select the ohmic-on pin as your ohmic probe pin when congiguring qtplasmac.
to build the component
sudo halcompile --install ohmic3.comp
Thanks Rod, this is a big help. I got my 7i96 flashed today with the new code, and received my new THCAD on Monday. I’ll likely try to put the ohmic kit together tomorrow.
I’ll check out your code tomorrow as well.
Thanks again!
Hey Rod,
I have been messing with this for way too long but cannot get the Ohmic test button in Qtplasmac to do much. It triggers the relay to light up the 24 volt power supply but nothing else happens.
I think I am close because can see voltage on encoder.01 and it changes drastically when connect the ohmic wire to the table. I customized and loaded the ohmic3 component as described above.
Could you please look at my files and comment? Thank you in advance.
