Center Spot Sheetcam Post

From what I can gather the 'good' side of the cut is the right hand side so for inside cuts go anti-clockwise and outside go clockwise.

What sort of relay do you use for the torch on.

Well that relay is a lot quicker than required...

In hindsight this may not have been the best way to do spotting. We are relying on the plasma machine to react to a torch instantly and also consistently, are they all able to do that?

If you remember JTknives spotting, it looked really good. He is using 'soft' Arc OK and had his OK Low voltage set reasonably low (I don't know what value).

Maybe instead of using a timed pulse we should leave the torch on until a certain voltage has been reached. Make that voltage the user adjustable setting rather than time.

Well got to the bottom of the problem. Somehow all of the symlinks in my config folder were broken so I copied them across from my backup folder!. NOt sure how to reinstate a link to plasmac.hal so had to copy it across.

from your config folder:

So sorted it all out and cut the part but the spotting happens at whatever height the torch is at and it did not turn on at all

do you have a small X or Y motion like here

So I'm not convinced you should change anything until we are all on the same page.

Nah, just throwin' some ideas around...
