Phill's files, one of them is named "new2.hal", in the contents of that file is the line to be deleted, so wherever you copied the contents of that file, there look for it.
Or open the files one by one and just search for "probe-in" and delete or omit that line, save and test.

I'll give it a shot but can't help but wonder why these files need to be hand edited to get a working plasma. Isn't that the point of the configurator? I never imagined I would be 4 days chasing this down and still not over the hurdle.

As an on looker, There is a lot of guessing going on. I think you need to post all your files from the config folder (I know Phill has sent you files) BUT it would make things clear to the people helping you if you post them. ZIP the folder up if you need and post it.

Then your files could have changed from your edits. Again, it would be easier if you posted your config files here. I’m not sure why your being obstinate when people are actively trying to help you.

Then your files could have changed from your edits.

I haven't run configurator since I did a fresh reinstall of Mint last night. I didn't begin using phill's files until a couple of hours ago.


So I commented out the "probe-in" as advised.

Next I got another similar error about the spinena pin which I'm using for torch on so I commented that out.

Now I can load up the plasmac and run my steppers, I have a couple of issues.

1. torch won't turn on/off via either F9/F10 or on the GUI.
2. not getting a float switch signal on the GUI when the float switch closes.

Any ideas guys?

I just copied every file I could from my folder generated by plasmac config last night. Some of the files in that folder would not copy to a usb drive; I don't know whether the files that would not copy are relevant or not.

As uploaded, they are currently updated for my machine that is now running plasmac with the exception of the two issues mentioned in my prior post. The hal file I included has been edited by hand per phill's files with further editing necessary to where I can now load plasmac without causing an error report to be generated.

Uploads attached.
