Z axis

Yep I found that topic. Got it working. And moved on to configuring my plasmac and I set go through the steps and it set up the configuration, I try to open it through a terminal command and I get permission denied. I figure it has something to do with trying with a bash command, how do I go around this. When open linuxcnc my configuration are not showing up either

Ok, will try that. Looks like everything is working. Just to make sure when I jog my z axis “ +” positive my torch should be moving down right?

Up would be the correct direction.

Most probably you have run the configurator with "sudo", and that is not good, nowhere is the use of sudo mentioned in the configurator user manual.

That is the the funny thing, I did not used "sudo" what so ever. I followed the manual line by line. I will follow your advice tonight when I get home. will up date. thank you again.

Alright permission step not working any suggestions ?

So do you have any configs under
~/linuxcnc/configs ?

Also from the command line, in that folder type sudo ls ./*.*

If that shows additional files you have a permissions issue so you will have to use sudo to give yourself read, write, execute permissions.

If not, you might have set it up somehow in an invalid folder that you don't have permissions for (eg not in your home folder).

So in configs when I type ls
I get azplasma , plasma , and sim axis, and my original file AZ_plasma_machine.pncconf. They are highlighted.
When I do sudo ls the same configuration come up not highlighted

Try

See picture

That looks ok, assuming the config we are looking at is plasma now doDo not use sudo for anything unless it is absolutely necessary. It is a bad habit to get into.
