PlasmaC torch starting problem (Solved with help from the famous three)

It wouldn't be in your original file because you had mode 0. You can just add the line in and put in your 7i96 pin that you connect the signal to.

Sorry I need some more guidance as my head is blowing up :laugh:
.
I have changed the ini file with the mode from 0 to 1
.
I have made the coil with a reed switch in the plasma ground lead and it seems to stop closed when cutting
Q. Is this switch going to trigger the original relay. Or is it going to be connected to another input on the 7i96 ?
.
Is this the line I need to change net plasmac:torch-on => hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00
.
Is this correct:-
net plasmac:arc-ok-in hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00 => plasmac.arc-ok-in
.

You would need to change PlasmaC to mode 1 in the in file and you would need to enable the following in your connections.hal file.

#net plasmac:arc-ok-in ***YOUR_PLASMA_ARC_OK*** => plasmac.arc-ok-in

The reed switch is to be connected to another input on the 7i96 and that will be the arc ok input.

Add the following line: with nnn being for the pin you connect the reed switch to.

Thanks Phil just the info I needed.

Waiting patiently.......

The reed switch works as Tom predicted. photos.app.goo.gl/btkxisYHNujgkM1N6
The part is about 1mm over size so that could be a kerf param. greater of smaller ?

I think this topic can be marked as solved :woohoo:
.
Edit: Phil will using this method effect the THC ?

I am very glad it works, i hate that i can not just jump there and help.
P.S.
Why is there a hole inside a hole ?
