Breakaway error

I'm in Linuxcnc 2.8 and using Gmoccapy. I have a Mesa 7i96 and thcad.

I just built a breakaway for my machine and I keep getting an error. It reads: breakaway switch activated program is paused.
It happens right after the probe and the torch fires for less than a second before the error.
The LED and Halshow don't light up. I can get them to light by manually breaking the torch.
Thanks for any help

Without seeing your breakaway design, it's hard to say. Post some pictures of what you've got going on.

Is it possible that the pressure from the torch is causing your switch to become un-tripped?

Is your Breakaway LED lit before you start cutting?

You could do a halplot, but I'm sure it will show that the breakaway switch is tripped some time after the torch fires.

Have you tried wiring the breakaway switch out the equation?

Again, not sure how helpful we can be without seeing anything.

There are two switches that are depressed by the springs and in open mode. When the torch collides to switches are no longer depressed and a 5v signal is sent to the board.

The breakaway LED is not tripped before I start.

That is from EMI interference, so will need shielded wiring and shielding around the switches.
BTW, this is the 5 or 6 topic you started regarding the same machine, and this one is after you have been told to keep everything in one topic! You are making a mess for you and for us who are trying to help as some issues are related and you are presenting them as separate, hence the answers will be messed up.

I'll try to shield everything. Thanks Tommy.

I'm sorry about having so many posts. I must not have read the rebuke. I had it in my head that I should be starting new threads. I was wrong.

I guess I missed the other posts. But one thing I do wonder is why you wired them normally open. Industry practice is to wire these sort of safety switches normally closed, so if a wire ever breaks, becomes disconnected, smashed, etc. the machine will fault out and prevent you from further issue....
