Phill

Thank you. I will most likely not be able to do any testing today because it is suppose to be dry outside after 6 days of rain. At this time of year you can see the grass growing here.

I hope others may weigh in on this so we can see if some sort of consensus can be found . As you know I feel strongly about having a torch enable button and indicator on the GUI. The torch enable signal is ANDed with any torch on signal coming from the controller just prior to connecting to the output pin. On my system a dry run is done any time you run a Gcode program and the torch is disabled. I find that once you get your PP sorted out there isn't much use for a dry run ( I only ever cut full sheets).

I will fall back to using M1 to pause the program on tool change so I can switch the THC enable from the config panel for now.

Yes, that would be good, I do rely on others as I have no experience with plasma operation...

Cheers, Phill.

To tired to weight in on anything, need some sleep.
As far as i can absorb, it is going pretty well. Plasma cutting is simple only for watching bystanders.
Regards,
Tom.

I think I'm closer but still getting errors. I now see the plasmac when I run LinuxCNC from a terminal. I select imperial from the axis sim But it Fails. I then open pncconf wizard and point it to the new folder in the config folder. I run through that and save. Then I look for the Hal file with the address and change that to 10.10.10.10 but still errors out. Not sure what I'm doing right or wrong.
