just a minor question Why i cant see step and dir connections
MY QUESTION IS DO I NEED TO DO THEM MYSELF


Yes, the workflow is to get your machine working with basic xyz motion and acceleration rates set (follow the bit about external offsets in the plasma primer as well). Once it works (forget about cutting anything), run the configurator..

If you are using a parallel port based machine then I would suggest that you use stepconf to get your base machine working then add the PlasmaC configuration.

My man, I've been there and yes it's very frustrating...

These guys will go above and beyond to help you out if you have patience.

Plasma machines have had very little support and you're talking to the only group of guys remotely interested in developing the tools for plasma machines. This is not an easy process and the learning curve is quite steep; read through their posts and see what you can glean before asking questions.
