Hello everyone. Just an update as I wanted to thank everyone (Especially JohnT, and Roberto, and also PCW, Andypugh, ArcEye, emcPT, Coolmo32 and I am sure others - I didn't mean to leave anyone out.)
I have the thc up/down setup mostly based on Roberto's VLCDTHC setup. I have the Proma THC wired in and have used in test mode. It's looking great so far. Full testing soon - Maybe this weekend.
Again - Thank you VERY much for all the time to help me work through this. I would not have gotten this far without your help.
On another note - I do have the Mesa THCAD for sale.
It has only been wired in less than a week for testing.

Hi,
I've spent the better part of this week wandering and wondering why o why there is not a ready made config for those simple "torch on=>arc ok=>up/down" thc controls seeing as for around $200 they do work to a certain extent and when the expectations are in check. I gave it a go at modifying the existing configs with variable results that were close but no cigar ! I made Roberto's VLCDTHC to work with everything and ..............it messes up Z axis badly, like : M3 Z goes down......or up....at normal speed and then at insane speed, and from time to time it can be stopped only with machine power off. Homing Z axes is a whole new experience into the unknown where the dark side meets the ......even darker side !!!
And here is the cherry on top: switch THC off and on and .........drum roll......... Z goes into new heights or lowers or straight into deep space, literally Z goes into 7 or 8 MILLION millimetres.
This is absolutely not complaining to Roberto or anyone for that matter, i am really grateful to all who help others in any way possible, this is just a fun way of looking at a hard day of work with the end result : the THC still not functional under linuxcnc, it works in Mach as usual with lots of unexplained problems ( i blame it on windows therefore exorcism is the only rational solution ), and being a hard core linux user it was VERY hard for me to go back to windoze and it's demons. I refuse to choose win...whatever even if it comes with a 2 meter tall blonde in the package.
Anyway, i will try your way,John, in a day or two and see if i manage to iron out the wrinkles and post back here and on cnczone and cncecke and........ahhhhh shut up!!!!
Regards,
Tom

Hi Paul,
Where are you located? If your THCAD card is still for sale I would take it.
I wrote you a private message, but it seems that not arrived to you.
(this happened not the first time, does this work for someone else?)
Best regards:
James
