Recent PlasmaC Update and No Motion

i can replicate this in Sim, if i load a plasmac example, enable machine, home, load file, press play. hit the ohmic button, let it start cutting, and then disable the machine(f2), upon re-enabling the machine, nothing.


the log displays these

IDLE
command (EMC_SPINDLE_OFF) cannot be executed until the machine is out of E-stop and turned on

@PurduePete
Do you use ohmic, you didn't have ohmic enabled in the config you poste.

@Teremos
Do you use Gmoccapy?

I don't undestand how this plasmac.comp can affect any thing else...

that test was conducted in gmocappy sim . i use axis to control my machine, it has the same issue, no movement possible after a break away, or machine disable is done whilst in movement.


i guess this is a different issue to the no moment after pierce, i haven't yet turned my torch on, have been conducting tests with it disabled.


my break away switch has very serious issues before this, so when i notice thatch its failed to detect the work surface, i either hit pause or panic and hit f2, it does not resume afterwards..

Could you give this one a try.

Edit: after a machine off and on you will need to jog Z to a reasonable position

Okay, so motion continues very happily after both a breakaway trigger, or a machine disable, or estop.

but it does not attempt to probe at all. nor does breakaway stop the machine. it throws the error "break away switch activated program paused" 10-15 times , but does not pause.

oops, I forgot to let you know to add this line:It really belongs in /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/by_machine/plasmac/plasmac.tcl but you need to edit that as root. For this testing it should be ok in the connections.hal.

no change. added to net plasmac:machine-is-on halui.machine.is-on => plasmac.machine-is-on with to plasmac.tcl

You did restart LinuxCNC?

i restarted the entire pc just to be sure

Waiting for component 'trivkins' to become ready....Waited 3 seconds for master. giving up.

this is new?


Edit: working fine now! second restart + opening fresh plasmac sim seems to have worked.
