Help with adding PlasmaC to base config + 7i76e

That doesn't seem right, it should be using an input pin, not the velocityo pin, something like:

You're right.. sorry about that, I did not catch this oversight until now that I report back about how my machine is running. I will correct my previous post.

I ran some simple squares and everything is great.

Happy with that I go ahead and run my first part...several hundred pierces and a few thousand inches of cutting.



Here I'm plasma cutting irregular shapes...grass. Tons of voltage changes going on and Plasmac handles it all perfectly up through about the 80th pierce point.

As you see there is some discrepancy in the arc shutoff delay. No big deal, it hasn't adversely affected anything (yet).

Specifically @:

0:15
1:27
1:48
2:27
2:57
3:05
3:15
3:25
3:58

After the video is over once I got to about the 80th cut, halfways through it the THC sends the torch flying up to the upper limit and shuts off & pauses. Send it through to the next cut and now the torch is crashing down into the sheet about 2 seconds after the arc initializes. Tried again, same result. I checked the torch itself thinking maybe a piece of slag is stuck in there, but it's free & clear.

I'm going to do some more test pieces to see what I can figure out before I try to continue on finishing out the rest of this sheet. Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

My biggest question at this point (besides the thc issue) is how many of the run/config settings are editable "on the fly" i.e. while the machine is running? Can the THC can be enabled & disabled in the middle of a cut? Can I change the pierce height, pierce delay, etc on the fly?

Edit: Here are a couple more videos to show what's going on with my THC, it wants to lift immediately after the 1.5 second THC delay. The voltage is set @ 125v so that's understandable as the arc stabilizes around 123v after pierce, I just don't know why it's wanting to "overcorrect" like that.
