Another plasma component...

Thanks John,

I am trying to put odd stuff like that in the tooltips.
If you hover over a widget they should come to life.

if I show up it will be worth a months worth of honey dos

I know what you mean...

Cheers, Phill.

Sorry, bit of a brain **** last post. Here is my current screen.

Well this is strange. Nothing working for me. PLASMAC is getting into endless loops when probing. Using latest commit ef66f44

It does not seem to be respecting the probe speed at all. even when I slow it right down in the Gmocappy GUI, it still goes up and down like a yoyo at a great rate of knots. Its an endless loop. I see the GUI indicators for both Ohmic sensing and float switch come on.

I think I got one cut working out of 20 attempts.

The error I get is "ohmic probe detected before probing. program is paused"

Maybe it is probing too fast for my mechanical relays to enable the probe enable.. But then it should not be able to receive an ohmic probe signal...

New relays on order.

Rod,
I just did a build from the branch and cannot fault it.
After reading what is happening several times I don't have a clue what it could be. [strike]Are they maybe solid state relays with a bit of leakage?[/strike]

Cheers, Phill

EDIT: I read it again and they are mechanical...

EDIT2: Can you determine why the probe leds are coming on?

Phil, This was working. There is an error somewhere in the code as the probing does not time out after a few tries. I kinda think its probing too fast and I can't slow it down. I suspect that before LinuxCNC can acknowledge the probing input, the float switch is triggered. It did fire twice and worked once with the torch disabled.

Funny thing is, it was working fine the other day. The first thing I did was do a git pull and it said it was up to date. I just can't remember if I cut with this config the other day. I think I did.

Are there any settings files that can be deleted? Maybe its memory is corrupt and as bad as mine!

Rod,
Is your probe height high enough, it is calculated as the height above the minimum soft limit?
Is your Z height near the top before probing?
When it moves down which should be at setup speed and a probe light comes on before reaching probe height does it move up near the top then go into pause?

Cheers, Phill.
