CNC plazma Microstep - retrofit

r4cv

Attached you will find an archive of the configuration files for my plasma table. This is not production code! I have cut many test lines with it but no production work. I am sure there are errors buried in here someplace. Please do not use to run a machine, for information only.

Thanks. I´m going to study.

I do not understand
Today I read those links. is described as how to make a variable from a G-code file to the system. this is in plasma.py
If I have the right idea, I need a system variable (in HAL file) into a G-code file (subroutine).

can you explain this to me as a fool?
my programming skills are poor.

Please give a full description of what you want to do. Please include any Hal pins already defined for the task. Sorry I am not a programmer either.

This may help:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/remap...ap:referto-hal-items

You can also use M67 and M68 if you want to go from Gcode to Hal.

I am sure the code I posted has many examples of what you want to do in it. There are HAl pins set and read from Gcode and variables passed from the GUI to the HAL and Gcode. There is no escaping it, unless you want exactly what Tommy has posted, you will need to do some programming to get a custom plasma system running.

today's success
I managed to make remap G38, touch off and set start height from HAL pin.
Thanks to all of you.

Next step is finish remap, all necessary subroutines and resolve CAM (what and why).
