Another plasma component...

I have pushed an update that merges the new 2.9 (master) branch.
It also has an updated configurator that creates links instead of copying files. So once you have run this to do a new config or upgrade an old config then you won't need to run it again to upgrade after you hav done a git pull.

Cheers, Phill.

I want to say Thanks Phill for all of your hard work.

I did have a harrowing day trying to install Plasmac,

I first updated the package and could not find the Plamac Axis and Gmoccapy under sims.

I reinstalled the package about 3 times then gave up, It was by chance that I checked under by-machine and found it.

Now that I have set the basics up on my computer I will set up my machine and hopefully be cutting some steel!

If something doesn't look like it should then check out the first post on this thread, I update it every (almost) time that I change things.
I know it is a pain with so many changes but they should taper off as we get closer to the end.

Cheers, Phill.

If it helps to spur you on, I cut a full sheet of parts today on my half sheet machine with plasmac. (I had to index the sheet twice) I am not running the latest version but the only issue I had was warpage exceeding the probe height on one pierce but I was able to recover by holding the sheet down until it finished probing.

Thanks Phill,

Now you mention it I remember that you were updating the first post when I read through the thread a couple of months ago, The thread sure has grown since then.

I just have some table wiring to finish up, removing the CandCNC proprietary cables and installing new ohmic and encoder cables, then I should be up and cutting.
