Another plasma component...

My version is prior to the configurator been available and I wasn’t aware Phil’s repository no longer existed. I will go with Rod’s option of compiling another run in place alongside my existing one. A job for the weekend I think

Thanks all

That is the best option if you didn't use the configurator.

To use the configurator you need an ini file without any of the PlasmaC items and a HAL file the same. The configurator will also copy them into the new config directory as backups.

I'm glad I read that right (That you had compiled from Phill's repository). It will only take you a couple of minutes (and a coffee)

So I had a chance to use Phills pierce only function,

This was the straw that broke the camels back, Slag from the hole piecing tripping the torch when it was cutting the outside of the plate


So I generated my g-code as normal in sheetcam but I added this line of code to the start of the files,
#<pierce-only> = 1

That produced a piece only g-code files,


The result looks like this,


After cleaning it looks like this,


I am still cutting the sheet out now but have not had any issues with slag tripping the torch! Works as advertised!

Wow! how many commercial plasma controllers do that!

Phill,

Is it possible for PlasmaC to be able to insert the code #<pierce-only> = 1 into a loaded g-code file and have a button in the interface so we can toggle it on when we want to us the pierce only function?
