PlasmaC Z axis following error

Phill I want to set up another machine with a PPort

I have put 2.8 on it but would also like to put my own config on it as well so I can swap out the drive to my own machine in case it goes down.
that's why I asked is it just a mater of copying the machine config folder over.

Re:
[AXIS_Z]
MIN_LIMIT = -82
MAX_LIMIT = -4
are the limits OK as min and max being -ve as I have them. on my machine as they seem to work fine

Yeah Clive, just copy the config directory and edit to suit the parport. Oops, I read that wrong, you won't need to edit it as it is only as a backup.

The limits should work ok.

Put 2.8 on a new ssd Thanks Beagle forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ver-mint-iso?start=0

Nearly there copied the config over made a launcher the debug is looking for plasmac.tcl where would that be hiding ?

edit: I tracked it down it is hiding in the bowls of the system. So all the sim links did not copy over how do I solve that.

run the Configurator from where the source files are and do an upgrade. That will fix all links.

The same as here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma...inuxcnc_installation

Thanks Phill that's magic all the links are back, So a max of 1 hour SSD flashed with Mr Beagles iso 2.8 updated it and copied the config folder over then used the Configurator to get the sim links back.

Good work Clive, LinuxCNC is getting easier bit by bit...

Phill re this:- forum.linuxcnc.org/plasma-laser/38918-my...ild?start=120#167918

Tom told me to do it as well, I think I am getting the same symptoms as I can be start cutting good for a few seconds then say its lost the arc. Do you think I should try and swap it around. If I remember. I would then have to touch the Z off at the slats then move it to the top.

[AXIS_Z]
MIN_LIMIT = -82
MAX_LIMIT = -4

[JOINT_1]
AXIS = Z
MIN_LIMIT = -82
MAX_LIMIT = -4

HOME = -5
HOME_OFFSET = 1

HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 10
HOME_LATCH_VEL = -2
HOME_FINAL_VEL = 5
HOME_SEQUENCE = 0
