Another plasma component...

Rod,

Do you mind sharing your sheetcam post for Plasmac that has the new disable function.

Yes, I will when I'm back at work. I did not change much today, the magic is in the cutting rules., not the post processor.

I think the configurator is fixed now...

Cheers, Phill.

I just love being the crash dummy. Its a small price to pay for all of your hard work. Just unexpected changes can take some time to understand.

HaHa, sometimes they take me a while to understand as well

Cheers, Phill.

I have pushed a couple of enhancements to the configurator:
You can select from a Run tab or a Run panel
The original plasmac.hal is now split into plasmac.hal and plasmac_connection.hal so there is just a link to plasmac.hal rather than a file in your config directory.
It is also possible ti use configurator to overwite an existing config if you need to make any changes. (as always, backup first...)

Cheers, Phill

So no change to Plasmac core Phill?

No, just the configurator and readme.

Phill,

This might seem like a stupid question,

With the configurator, How do I know what the Hal Pins are for the Arc ok, Ohmic Probe, Ohmic Probe enable, Float switch and Torch on.

With my basic config I have the motors jogging in the basic Axis GUI. but I dont have any of the above in the HAL or INI.

I tried using a HAL file that was posted a while ago with the Plasamc stuff in it but my basic AXIS config would not open saying it cannot find the Plasmac Hal pins.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, sometimes there are stupid answers...

You use the HAL pin that you have wired up as that function.
e.g. In my panel I have:
arc-voltage-in = hm2_7i76e.0.encoder.00.velocity
float-switch = hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-08-not
torch-on = hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-00

Cheers, Phill.
