THC question was created by bdrotaru
Hello guys
I'm new to EMC2 and Linux so i ask you kindly be very gentle. :D

I purchased from Agelkom Capacitive THC
The device is sending to pc four signals:

Torch UP
Torch Down
Torch in position (ARCOK)
Probe (Touch Plate)

As long it concern me, iti is a very useful device because it doesn't need to touch never sheet metal.

Can anyone can help me to integrate this device in EMC2?
Thank you in advance

i am not familiar with that device , but if you have a link to the manual or diagram , we can assist further
if they are just signals , connecting into EMC should not be a difficult task , as their are a few plasma users with torch height controls
of various types working fine

I wrote an up/down THC comp based on my THC comp. I'll have to find it... ah here it is.

You will have to follow the short instructions to install the comp from here:
