Snuggly's Plasma Build

Islander261 came through for me in the HAL thread. I'm going to test these out now.

I am still around, but work is hectic.
Will try to test this today and report back. The problem is, my Mesa cards are scattered all over, so i might have to summon them. I think i have a 6i25 here in the office, and i know i have a 7i92 on a mill that is not being used at the moment, the other cards are in my workshop and my bedroom ( don't ask ).
Later.

TOMMY!!! My man, got Toma 95% running, just need to make the rest of the connections to negotiate the THC to the Mesa board that Andy pointed out weren't there.

Testing out Islander's modified files now. Might try commenting out the problem areas on the THC.hal and trying to wire it in directly to the machine HAL... I have little idea of how to do it but trial and error is better than sitting around with my thumb up my ass.

Pretty sure all thc.hal to mesa card connections are there. Post any error messages from terminal and or screen. Don't change anything until you make sure that the correct signals are on the correct pins on TB3. Then check signals with halshow or halmeters to figure out correct polarity for the inputs.

I have to make a delivery to another island this afternoon while the weather is holding so I won't be back until after supper time. Collect error messages and logs then post.

This bit in thc.hal seems to be a missing part. I think with such a complex hal file, you need to implement all of it.

I think if you wire in the estop switch, you'll get an error on the LimitZ line , maybe it should look like this t I'd have a good look at what Tommy did in his mesa config. here..

Out of time, but
Added a lot of missing stuff (estop latch, DDT etc)
removed # from some lines that are very necessary
Z axis is missing feedback, will check that tomorrow.

Tom
