Controller build for Plasma

Running under Linux Mint 20 with rt kernel.

Maybe there are some things I can tweak in the bios.

That looks good for any Mesa board, and since i am writing this on a Quad i5 Lenovo M93 that already has a Mesa 6i25 in it (well for the last year or two) i am fairly sure about it !
This is what i get on it while playing youtube, have over 40 tabs in Firefox opened and replying here :

@RodW I know we had talked about the 25K 5Watt resistor needed for the ohmic thcad-5 setup. Does it replace the 300K resistor below?

Thanks. That is exactly what I was trying to accomplish.

No Its in addition to it on the high voltage side as a pull down or pullup. I'll check it out when I get a chance and advise.

It's snug. 2 x thcad-5s stacked. 24V supply on the inside of the door. Time to start wiring it up.

Have you considered using the SSR's on the 7i96 board? I ask because I see it's neat but packed, and you have what looks like a 4 relay board there.
