Snuggly's Plasma Build

good question, I didn't check to see if the stepper was had any holding torque. I have a second DM860A if this one is dead, which would be unfortunate, but ordering a new DM560A will take at least a week. I'm interested to know if it's possible, or how to wire up a DRV8825/A4988 through an Arduino GRBL shield.

Z axis is working!

I've started the preliminary wiring to integrate the THC. I'm admittedly pretty clueless on this front so here's my files so far. I'll need to change up my homing sequence again, that's no big deal.

LET'S GET THIS GIRL RUNNING! (very excited )

First error, I pray of few, is:

iptables: no chain/target/match by that name.
./THC_vcp.hal:4: Pin 'pyvcp.Scale-CHLThreshold-f'does not exist 1208

I would check in halshow what pyvcp pins do exist, it may be just a typo. If so just edit the hal file

the final connections to PyVCP need to be made in the Postgui HAL file (A HAL file that runs after the GUI has loaded).
That is because the PyVCP pins don't exist until the GUI has loaded.

Sweet, I'll give it a shot. We're getting into territory that I can't quite make heads or tails of, so here's hoping we can get this machine cutting before thanksgiving.

Good news is everything other than the THC is working properly.
