Linuxcnc - plasma router - joint 2 flolowing error

Hi,


ok, i tried now the Plasmac config.

1) i created new config with Stepconf - i set all axis and tested movings. In Stepconf i set the Spindle ON to pin 1 (pin 1 is on my breakboard output to RELAY)
2) i configured plasmac via wizard and i set the pin 1 for the Torch ON signal (screenshot).

If i try reconfigure the Plasmac, then all values about pins are blank. What is wrong, please ?

hmm, now is plasmac config done, but if i want run the cnc, then i have error "

ok, i tested and tested ,,,,now i start the GUI.


Moving of all axis works fine.
If i home Axis Z, then i can try probe test. The Z move down, if is the float switch connected, then the Z move UP. But the light control in linuxcnc stay in yellow color (contact of float switch is still OFF) ...

The TEST on PROMA THC 150 too not moving with axis Z.

it is strange,that if i reconfigure the plasmac config with configurator, then i can't start the "linuxcnc"

i tried other chinese cnc breakout board and on this board works the float switch perfectly ...

it seems, that all my problems are in my board !!!

Hi, i don't know ..., i must buy the LPT cable (25M<>25F), i have only (25F<>25F) ... ...

i have this board, it is stable ?

i have this board, it is stable ?

As Andy has said.

The biggest problem seems to be that people get confused in that it has to have two power sources one being 12-24V for the inputs and spindle control to work and the other is 5V this can be provided from a 5v power supply or 5v from the USB (generally usb's are a bad idea)
