My Newb Plasma Table Attempted Build

I've circled back and succeeded with making this BRIX PC work to control the machine. This is a good score for me because now I can easily fit all of my electronics into the new enclosure I had bought for the table retrofit.

Also, I now have my THCAD-5 so I can soon get on with the hypersensing. Just need to get the ohmic part for the wire to hook onto. That would make this a proper half-pint table then, wouldn't it?

Glad you got it working.

Me too!

I never had any problems getting the BRIX to an OK latency. It makes me think that they must have changed something as I bought mine a few years ago.

Rod, I think the major change that is causing the hiccups is they ditched regular BIOS for straight-up UEFI. Had to depart from my old-school but familiar Debian Stretch, as there's no way to boot into it to get it installed on these now. Mint is nice though, definitely more modern lol.

Ahh. I'm sure I am not using UEFI on mine but it is an option.

I think the change they made on the newest ones is that BIOS is not an option, they're UEFI only. Had I known that at the time, I probably would've passed it up.
