QtPlasmaC release.

Happened 5 times today in about an hour, cut a piece or two then stop and wait and wait ....
Proof incoming:
The first two shots are with the latest Stretch build, other 3 are after updating to build 4140 i think from the Buster repo:

-yeah no, editor not working so cannot embed pictures...
There is a bonus picture, went to see how one of my machines is doing and this is what i was greeted with on the owners truck !
Sometimes the Down LED gets stuck on, sometimes not, happens on both versions...
Went back to PlasmaC, it worked for over an hour without issues.
Now i can say it out loud, i hate anything QT, just to much cr@p under the pretty looks.

2 pictures missing, so try again...
 

OK...
state-out = 13 indicates the Z is moving to safe height.
stop-type = 2 indicates it is waiting for a M3 to start the next cut.
All the pics show that the current line is a move to Xnn/Ynn but if you look at the DRO X/Y they show the current position as being the last X/Y position from the previous cut.
This indicates that the component thinks that safe height has not been reached and it is still setting feed-hold on (plasmac.feed-hold). There should be no differences in QtPlasmaC and PlasmaC as they both use the same component and all this is controlled from the component. Maybe if I try one less decimal in the float comparison it may help. I'll play around a bit later today.
I "think" the Down LED may just be a timing issue of what it was doing last when the previous cut stopped and it got hung up...

I think i do have smaller parts of that design, will check when i get to one of my PC's. Or what dimensions would you need as i can do it in under 5 minutes ?
Thanks Tommy, actually the one you posted is a perfect size, if you had a dxf of that I could probably split it up and index a sheet and move it around.

Here it is, sorry for the delay, reasons below ...

Thanks for that Tommy, sorry, I missed this post.

State pins sometimes at 0, still not moving.
It stops when retracting from the last cut, as you noticed.
BTW, this is on the second PC, both fresh installs.

Thanks Tommy. Could you check the value of the pin plasmac.resolution please.

Edit: Does the Z axis make it back up to where it should or does it stop part way.
