QTPlasmaC Remove Z axis for Tube Cutter

Alright I think that puts us on the right track.

I wasnt really too attached to QtPlasmaC, I just saw the word "plasma" and selected it. Also thought it looked nice.

I did previously create a config with Axis GUI as well but it was more so for testing the motors out, so I will switch back to that and see what I can do.

Thanks! Hopefully my next post is of a finished machine.

I have a XXY plasma without Z axis. Similar issue. I compiled a new version of LinuxCNC 2.10 then I set the tube-cutting in HAL to true in my .HAL. This avoids doing the Z probing before starting the program.

I did notice that once once I load a new program, it resets the tube cutting to False to I created a button in the QTPlasmaCNC UI under settings which I named IGNORE Z-PROBE and then you can look at the config how to toggle a pin to set the tube-cutting to True.

This seems to work well in converting a non-Z plasma cutter into a working state but still use QTPlasmaC.

Can you post your INI and hal files.
