I do not feel that you were at fault. It seemed like every time I ran it, Tesremos and I found something new. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out exactly what was going on to explain it all. Can't even comprehend how you took that information and fixed it. An error that worked fine fore one cut and then not for any subsequent cuts is just so strange and hard to nail down.

Did run some dry runs for conversational as well by the way and those seemed fine as well as different programs. Really tried to put it through its paces.

Well it was me, I broke it in v0.162.

When I worked out what the problem was and saw the formula I came up with I cringed. I have no idea what I was thinking. :blush:

Hello

Since 4 years I am using Linuxcnc to operate my plasma cutter. I bought now the Toma thc 150 and upgraded to Linuxcnc 2.8 and PlasmaC.
With the help of this forum I managed to get LinuxCNC running after many days. Today I wanted to check the Inputs. Arc ok is working but up and down doesn't. I am using the cheap China BOB with Parport and 5 inputs. I bridged also the input to check if I get the signal. Nothing...
Any idea what I can test?

Thank you very much for your help!
Greetings
Jean

In PlasmaC GUI > home the machine >enable the torch ( DO NOT SWITCH ON THE PLASMA )>in the "config" tab set the ARC "fail timeout" to 60>on the "run" tab set the THC to enabled> press F9 on the keyboard
On the Proma THC150>press and hold BOTH buttons till you see TST on display and let go
Now you have LED's on the THC and on PlasmaC for a long time so you can see if it is working.
