Another plasma component...

I am getting a error message when I try to start the Plasmac config I create with the configurator,

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pyvcp-panel.xml'

Am I missing a dependency? I can open the Sim version of the branch.

If you ran pncconf you must have selected to use a pyVCP panel.
You need to comment that out in your ini file or copy pyvcp-panel.xml from your base machine config directory to the new plasmac config directory.

Cheers, Phill.

Just remember that Plasmac is trying to do what no other example config does and build a working config for you. If things don't work out, its a good idea to compare your ini file with the one in the sim and see what has changed.

I am sure this has been covered before but the last half and hour searching has not found the solution,

I have plasmac working but I cannot get the arc voltage to work.

I have FOUT - and FOUT + from the THCAD to encoder input A (TB3, Pin 7,,

I have set in the configurator mode 1, and set the arc voltage input to hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.velocity,

The THCAD is set to Unipolar and the yellow light blinks quicker when I fire the torch.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

What does the arc voltage read?

Note that you may need to use a negative encoder scale number depending
of the state of the B encoder input

Is the encoder counter-mode set to 1
