The plasmac User Guide will be available at linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/ under User Interfaces
Your Plasma Primer when completed will be under General User Information
They will also be in the PDF format at linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/pdf/LinuxCNC_Documentation.pdf
I will put the direct links on post 1 of this thread when they are available.
If you do a package build from buildbot then they should be available locally.
If you run ./configure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-build-documentation like so then they will build locally. It does add a bit to the compile time.
I have a temporary copy here

Well for those guys that still want to compile from source and have compiled master branch before plasmac as I suggested, I went back into the lniuxcnc-dev/src folder and did a git pull to get the latest master branch but I got an error to say I was still using the now obsolete external offsets branch!
So I did a
plasma@plasma ~/linuxcnc-dev/src $ git reset --hard origin/master
and got this:How cool is that! Plasmc owns the last commit into master branch!
I'll update this if I get any errors but from here it should just be:
EDIT: Then set the rip-environment to master branch

Hmm, getting an error here when running linuxcnc on my config and the plasmac gmocappy sim
the rip-environment seems to be correctly pointing to linuxcnc-dev
plasma@plasma ~/linuxcnc-dev $ linuxcnc
LINUXCNC - 2.9.0~pre0
Machine configuration directory is '/home/plasma/linuxcnc-dev/configs/by_machine/plasmac/gmoccapy'
Machine configuration file is 'metric_plasmac.ini'
can't find package Linuxcnc
while executing
"package require Linuxcnc "
(file "/home/plasma/linuxcnc-dev/lib/hallib/check_config.tcl" line 141)
check_config validation failed
LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log:
/home/plasma/linuxcnc_debug.txt
and
/home/plasma/linuxcnc_print.txt
as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal
plasma@plasma ~/linuxcnc-dev $
the rip-environment seems to be correctly pointing to linuxcnc-dev

False alarm, on reboot it seems OK. Shame about a home switch not working though

Great job Phill,
Does this mean that soon PlasmaC will be included with the basic Linuxcnc install? as in the ISO install file?
I have one more question, I have gotten as far as running a program but when the torch goes to pierce it fires and just stays still at the pierce point and does not move, Is there a setting I am not seeing that is stopping the motion.

It won't be in the ISO, they only put the current stable branch there which is currently 2.7
Do you get any error messages?
Does the Arc OK LED turn On?
Check the Fail Timeout value in the Config tab.
EDIT: It is easy to get an ISO installed system to point to the buildbot to run master branch

Plasmac will be part of the distribution when V 2.9 becomes the release version and we have not released 2.8 quite yet!
But its a trivial matter to upgrade from the release version to master from within the Synaptic package manager. Its so long, I've forgotten how to do it!
Your lack of motion could be something to do with the spindle.0.at-speed pin.
So if you have a spindle, you set this pin to be true when your spindle is at speed. Motion is inhibited until this happens! We used to just fudge it and turn it on for ever but I'm not sure how Plasmac does it as I'm sure it won't set it true until its ready to go so best wait for phill

Can you post your HAL file.
If Rod is correct I may need to get the configurator to comment out some of the spindle stuff.
I forgot pncconf gives you a spindle regardless of whether you want it or not. It is really for mills or lathes.
I hand code my HAL files so I don't think of all these eventualities...

Phill,
Please find attached my Hal file,
I do have a Arc Ok signal then after about 3 seconds it times out and I get a valid arc lost program paused error.
