so i have to upgrage my whole system to linuxcnc 2.9? i thought i just had to upgrade plasmac?

 
No, PlasmaC runs only on 2.8.

You would need 2.9 if you wanted to move to QtPlasmaC.

It should do. But as mentioned previously there have been some bugfixes since the version you are running.

That looks OK for PlasmaC in Mode 1 with a float switch.

So everything works except arc ok. The thc is reading, floating head of course is working, arc is established. But no arc ok. So after 3 attempts it stops. 

I checked the connections hal an it seemed to match up. The wires are going to input 10. Again, it’s wired just like the picture

Update to the latest version of PlasmaC using this process:   linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma...tml#_standard_update

You'll only have to do it once as there wont be any more PlasmaC  updates after that.
