Alternative THC recommendation?

What are some good alternatives THC out on the market and alternative Plasma configuration?

About the only other one thats been used with Linuxcnc is the Proma 150. It is supported by Plasmac but there is another config on the forum here somewhere. Those that championed it have moved to Plasmac and the THCAD card.

There is a THCUD component that allows any up/down signal style THC (like the proma) to be used with Linuxcnc.

Gmoccapy has a plasma screenset but its just that. An empty screen. Those of us that attempted to adopt it put an enormous effort into trying to make it useable but I think we've all adopted Plasmac.

As you've found out, CNC plasma is not trivial. Do not expect it to be any easier with any other THC.

You already have really good motion hardware with your 7i96 and the Plasmac THC and config is by far the best available. It would be a shame to walk away from it now. I read your other thread completely and I could not help but think you were just short of the finish line but were struggling with your plasma cutter.

You have not explained what the real sticking points were leading up to your decision to abandon Plasmac. We'd really like to get you that last mile and over the line.

rodw, frustration got the better of me earlier. You’re right To much time invested in this project to walk away. I Will take a few days off and enjoy the holiday weekend, here in the states.
And come back with a list.

Can you point me to the build thread. I would like to take a look.

I'm glad I could help!

I'm envious. My weekend is over!

If you want to see frustration try muy build thread forum.linuxcnc.org/show-your-stuff/32029...cutter-build?start=0

So often I thought I had hit a show stopper with no solution. A few days off and a hint from someone about how to solve it, kept me going...
