Hi all

I was writing a new comp for thc boxes.

FIRST OF ALL I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER
So ,please, apologize if the program has a bad style

I believe is now ready for testings ( I am using it since two mounts and look fine ...)

BUT STILL EXPERIMENTAL (off course:-)

Hoping someone will find it useful

Thank you for that, gave it a try today and made most of the things work just fine, but, the Zaxis is messing up badly. I removed the "voltage" pins since all i have for signals is arc_ok up down and thc enable with torch on, that is all working. The Z problem and the float switch is totally ignored as a home switch, Z moves the set distance at normal speed and as soon as it reaches the set value it speeds up immensely, giving an M3 moves the Z axes randomly again at various speeds ( mostly way beyond what machine can handle ). If i get a torch start raising and lowering the metal it moves the head just fine up and down. I did say "IF" . The Z positioning is............... never mind, will fidle some more with it soon.
Thanks again, and i will post details when and if i make it work.
Regards,
Tom
