Configuring Plasmac - a complete THC/plasma config for any hardware

the only question i am asking is where to do parport connections in plasmac
i tried configrator with no success at all
AND YES I HAVE WORKING BASE CONFIG RUNNING MADE THROUGH STEPCONF
Isnt there any simple way of connecting 3 step dir signals only ???????

Hey Rodw, I've been going through these steps and I keep running into the issue of not finding the PlasmaC directory in linuxcnc.

I did a fresh install of Debian Stretch w/ master Preempt-RT (updated the repository) and then I followed your instructions and made sure everything was updated and then restarted the computer. Still no PlasmaC in the drop down menu for linuxcnc. Clearly I'm doing something wrong, do I just need to copy the PlasmaC folder into the Gmocappy file?

Thanks for the help! looks like you guys are really pushing this development branch and it's really exciting to see this level of support for Plasma/Laser systems. Let me know if there's any way I can help!

It should be in
Sim/apps/plasmac

Its best to follow the instructions here linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/plasmac-user-guide.html
A fresh install of stretch will leave you running Verision 2.7 so you need to install master branch from there and then it will appear.

sir here are m config files as you requested i am losing hope on it since im trying to do same thing everytday since 6 days ..its really frustrating

In your ini file you have 2 joint (motors ) for Y but in the hal file I only see connections for 1 joint if this is correct how are you driving the gantry?

I also see 2 ini files which one are you using? What is the exact problem you are asking
