I believe so. i have my machine all set up, configured, and calibrated except for the floating head. when i fist tried to get plasmac it suggested i make sure everything as set up and ready. so i did everything else first.

Hey, well i was being dumb for a while there. when i tried to follow the guide for plasmac i typed this into the terminal
$ python /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/by_machine/plasmac/configurator.py
which i accidentally included the extra $
once i did this: python /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/by_machine/plasmac/configurator.py
i get the menu for plasmac. so i guess i already have it

Glad you sorted it, in the doc that is supposed to represent the terminal prompt.
Maybe there should be a note in there for newcomers.

Mode 2 is correct.
Input pins would be something like:
Output pins would be something like:

Ok so i got it all filled out and set up for my machine then i saved the plasmac. it said it saved and should be able to find in the ini file or config files. but nothing changed i dont think. i normally see a panel that show plasmacs status, but i dont have that. here are my ini files. not sure if youll need anything else

You should have a directory ~/linuxcnc/configs/<machine_name> with your new config in it.
You start it with:<machine_name> is the name you gave the machine in the Configurator.
You start it with:
linuxcnc ~/linuxcnc/configs/<machine_name>/<machine_name>.iniPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

Yeah when I do that it just opens up the software as it’s always look. Like I said I had my machine all configured before doing thins. So it just looks the same. I thought it was suppose to add stuff
