Another plasma component...

John,

An update I pushed last night will fix problem 2 (there is an extra M2 at the end but I will remove that...)

Problem 1 does seem to be Gmoccapy 3, I can confirm it works correctly in Axis.

My Gmoccapy was 3.0.7.1 which also shows the behaviour you described.

EDIT: I didn't see your edit before I posted this...

Thank you for all your hard work on PlasmaC. The install to the latest would have gone smoothly if I had bothered to read the updated documentation first. I think I am up to date at last. Now I just need to fix my PP to take advantage of all the features that have been added. I cut two sheets today with no excitement once I got all the new stuff figured out.

So for all the plasma newbies that want to use PlasmaC, RTFM until you understand the requirements. It is so simple compared to any other plasma control Linux or Windoze it will work.

Phill,

Sorry to be a pain but still having problems,

Did a git pull today and still not working,

When I open linuxcnc I get this error,


When I try to load g-code I get this error,


And when I close linuxcnc I get this error,


Any idea what Ive screwed up?

I have run materialverter with my lastest tool setting from Sheetcam.

The shutdown error has been reported here , it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Check your material file (sws_plasma_material.cfg) to see if anything is amiss in tool number 2

I cannot see anything wrong with tool number 2,

I have attached the file to this post for you to double check.

SORRY, that is something new I have brought on.

After a recent report I added error handling in the materials file.

All entries now require a value.

You are missing entries in a few materials for THC and Cut Amps and Cut Volts.

If you fill them in you should be good to go.

I could probably default THC, Puddle Jump Height, Puddle Jump Delay and Cut Amps to 0 if there is no entry but the others need to be there.
