Another plasma component...

I managed to install it but strangely there are no plasma configurations.
the system is right because it starts regularly linuxcnc 2.8.1 ..
I tried to copy the config folder downloaded from zip and start but the comp plasmac is missing.
What could I have done wrong?

You have to follow the instructions for downloading and installing from git, just change the git address from linuxcnc to phillc54/linuxcnc-plasmac.
Then do the autogen and make commands, then setuid and if you want to have a deb package follow the instructions at the bottom of the page to create the deb.
Install that deb. Done.
Use that deb to install on other computers that already have preempt-rt kernel.
You can find the plasmac.comp file and do:
sudo halcompile --install plasmac.comp
but when you try to use that config it will complain about missing eo ( external offsets ).

I copied the instructions like a fool without changing anything ...
I redid everything and now I start everything regularly, I just have to adapt it to my hardware.
thanks again for the work and for the help.
regards

Hi,
Very nice and complex component. Thanks you.
I have been study it for two days.
It will be nice add one pin for "simulation" path. Only go along the path without probe, torch on etc.
I will need add my new pin for eject probe stick, wait for ejecting and after probe push it back and wait for a moment.
I will do this feature myself, its no problem.

Thanks Martin

I like your idea of a simulated path pin.
I am not 100% sure what you mean with your eject probe pin.

This may not need a new pin in the component. If you add a new GUI button "torch enable", you can and2 that with motion.spindle-on and use the output from the and2 to turn on the torch relay output.

I've just moved my plasma table to a new building and for some reason, its not seeing any Wifi SSID's otherwise I'd be playing with this.

I was looking at all of the space left on the config tab and thought it would be a great place to have some fields populated from an SQL table to select cutting chart parameters. I came up with a list of about 8 tables to do this correctly. eg, select machine, select metric/Imperial units, select material type (steel, stainless aluminium), select material thickness (based on metric/imperial), select gas. I did nut out the fields required for each table. When i get some time, I'll see if I can build the database for a Hypertherm 45xp.
