Gmoccapy plasma help

Did you ever share this? I would so appreciate anything you could throw my way or via git.

I am currently in the process of retrofitting an older large plasma machine. My plan now is to start with the old torches... Get them working (making money) keep adding options before undating the torches which require better control.

Have my basic HAL and INI running but the plasma GUIs and add-ons are all spread apart.

Would it help if I said PLEASE!

Hi Scuba,

If you want make to be quick, use mach3. But in the future in about 2-5 years linux plasma will be exponentional used for plasma.

When it is ready and tested for 8 weeks. i will load the external offsets plasma grotius config to my github channel. You are able to install and compile it from there.

This one is tested for weeks and has extra features : github.com/michelwijnja/external_offsets_adaptive_feed
Is has also negative adaptive feed, this is on top of the external offset branche. This is very handy when you want to restart at history point in your program. Program can do backward movement in your cnc program.
But the grotius plasma config is not inside this github version yet. It will be added later after test period.

Server cloning of pre configured hard disk, is the best solution for linuxcnc.

To all who are having joint errors with the thc_toma config, here is the solution as mentioned in the original thread several times:
in stepper.hal

line:
#setp stepgen.2.maxvel [AXIS_2]MAX_VELOCITY

We need to remove #
Also attached the edited file to the original post.

Thanks Grotius:

Well I have already purchased the Mesa cards, and going back to 32 bit Windows and a parallel port is something I just couldn't bring myself to do to use Mach 3.

I will begin work with what you have shared so far... My project got tabled for another month, because of time and personnel shortages. So hopefully you get to the testing phase soon after. As a programmer in past lifes, I would be more than happy to help you debug things when you get to that point.

Again thanks for all your efforts.
