Sorry to burst your bubbles, but that is a very, very bad board design, the 300V plug is right next to the USB port and the rest of low voltage electronics, a single diode on the input, very ......... never mind.
Glad you got it working, but please do set some 70 Euro aside for a Mesa THCAD.
I have no affiliation with Mesa, they just make some very good electronics and i use them a lot, although a single THCAD costs me over 150 Euro to get it here due to customs and stuff.

I wanted to know if it is possible to make the torch not go up at the end of the gcode?

No, it is a normal part of the PlasmaC cut sequence.

hello
 my plasmac no longer works the inputs on my DB25 card when I short circuit between the gnd and pins 11,12,10 nothing happens.
 I think it doesn't work. Is there a way to test them?
I can no longer find the user manual?

Did you try to cut something without the clamp attached to material?
First check the cables and connectors, make sure they are plugged in properly.
Use "show hal configuration" from the machine menu, on the right side choose the "watch" tab, on the left expand "pins", paraport, then click on pins 10,11,12,13,15.
Short the inputs to GND, do the LED's on screen change color?

OK, that leaves us with a configuration error and with a question, why are you not switching to QtPlasmaC ?
Attach the zipped configuration folder so we can have a look.

The up and down leds will only light if activated by the THC, they are connected directly to the component, not to the HAL pins.
