No success obtaining value of encoder from THCAD-10 was created by santy
Hi everyone.
Im using PlasmaC and a Mesa 7i96s board to control a plasma machine, with type 1 THC Configuration (voltage for Arc Ok and Thc signals).
I manage to move all axis, probe, and activate the arc, but the THC has an issue.
My voltage divider has a built in relay for triggering the plasma, so i'm using that. It outputs a 1:50 voltage division, but i am not obtaining any values in the encoder value. What could be wrong?
Also, im using sheetcam Plasmac post processor, and the "probe sequence" is performing 2 probes for each pierce. is this normal? can i reduce the number to just 1 probe?
Thank you!

Can you see a change in the THCAD blink rate with plasma voltage
on/off?
Have you tried the F/32 THCAD option
(you will not be able to read full scale input with default
encoder settings and the THCAD set for DIV1)

ok im going to try this now.ill change the switch to f/32 and do a test with 100mm line and update it soon.

If you look at the encoder velocity in halshow and its not bouncing arround near 3800 (eg its static), there are some settings missing in your hal file. I think they are covered in the Plasmac docs.

You will get two probes if the probe height is below the top of the material.Also, im using sheetcam Plasmac post processor, and the "probe sequence" is performing 2 probes for each pierce. is this normal? can i reduce the number to just 1 probe?
