float switch

Please take the time to read the PlasmaC user guide (linked in this forum subgroup and findable via a google search). It answers this question, and many you have yet to know you have yet

A lot of time went into making the user guide easy to follow and understand.

I have read it multiple times, just misunderstood as it said to have ALL your switches working before running the plasmac configurator. Thanks for clearing this up

I suppose I can see how potentially a breakaway or a float switch could be perceived as a limit switch.

I appreciate the feedback, I will amend in a future revision to make it even more clear. The intent is for users to not be confused

You can set it as "probe input" in pncconf but you would need to edit the hal file manually later and omit it or delete it.
It is very true that you need all the switches already set up before running the configurator, but probe or float or ohmic is not required there.
When you do run the configurator you will need to enter the exact pin name, so you can open the existing hal file and copy ( not cut ) one of the inputs and paste it in the configurator but do edit the pin number.

No worries, the feedback is appreciated. I already started the updates to the beginning of the manual and adjusted some of the flow (putting plasma IO requirements after the base config stuffs for example) touched up some of the verbiage and examples, etc.

Glad you got it going!
