Snuggly's Plasma Build

Hi Tom,

It is heart.

Maybe import a RS6 from www.autoscout24.com
My car is outside of europe, from SK. I imported it myself.
So look in autoscout for other countries also.

Already did look there, still to expensive after customs and VAT. The thing is, here where i live people use diesel so cars running on gasoline are way cheaper than in Europe, i can buy an AUDI A8 4.2 for 4000 Euro for a 2001-2002, but a diesel of the same year is over 9000. I was hopping to find one for under 10000 but no such luck, yet. For Christmas i will be in Vienna, Austria so i'll have a look there.
@Snuggly sorry for hijacking your thread.

I'm running steppers all the way around, I've tried Toma previously, I'll give it another shot, however I'd like to continue pursuing this THCUD system, seems like it's a very simple option... as soon as I figure out how to wire it in.

@tommylight & Grotius I'm rewiring my box as per your suggestions and will post pictures when I'm done

Hi Snuggly,

Do your best. Make a nice logical setup with your wiring and pin numbers setup.
I prefer to start with the Toma. If you got this working you get one karma +.

I'm running a double shielded coax cable (grounded to the the table {grounded to my shop}) to get the voltage off the plasma cutter for the Proma. My enclosure is a bit small so this will have to do until I get a computer case to put it all in.

@Grotius, Thanks for the support man, I have been venturing far beyond my capacity. I'm glad that Tommylight put up that Plasma "How To", however I can't help but feel that this could all be added into the linuxcnc launcher.

@Snuggly,

I know how you feel.
It could be adapted to the linuxcnc launcher. But maybe the structure of the launcher is to simple.

If the linuxcnc launcher was interactive with the linuxcnc git. (source) Then user's could search in the launcher for plasma solutions.
Then gui providers could connect to the interactive workout. The Toma is in fact one of the interactive solution's
Even the laucher could look for upgrading your system to a certain work out.
