plasmac error

Hi. so i was trekking along 1 thing at at time. figure out my float switch and it was working . so i moved on to work on my torch on and off pin and now plasmac wont open . i get the following . see below. i can open my base configuration but now my plasma wont open any suggestions

here is the .print.txt

Can you post m6.ini and m6_connections.hal

will post this evening

There seems to be lot missing from m6_connections, at a minimum it should have:


In the following line joint.N.pos-fb needs to be the joint for the Z axis.

ya i don't know what happen. i started over from scratch and its working now. working on my float switch and torch on and off at this time

So float switch working torch on and on working, I’m getting a joint 3 on limit switch error when my plasma torch come on any suggestions ?

That is probably due to electrical noise.

A workaround is probably to debounce the limit switch (in software, with the HAL "debounce" function)

Can you give an example Example on how I would add a debounce ?
