Ok, new configuration. This is getting tough to get much further. Remember we need exact error messages to trouble problems. Screen shots or copied text are best.

To keep going we need a drawing of the complete system wiring. It seems the pins and their polarities are changing every iteration, it is impossible to keep up with because we don't have the hardware. There is an old saying in the project management field:
" Plan the work, work the plan or plan to fail."

Z will not try to home now per Tommy's instructions. Still don't know whether the THC..hal needs positive true logic in or negative true logic or a mixture of both. No Z limit connection either, I need a photo of the Z axis mechanics showing the the location and wiring of the limit switch.

I'll update this post with a video of hardware and setup in just a few.

The logic change in the THC.HAL was due to my own error, when I rewired my controller I skipped a pin and the ARC-OK was on when the logic for the pin was off. That's been fixed and is in it's proper configuration.

I kind of fell into this build, however that doesn't excuse my lack of proper planning.

Please make a drawing, videos are really only good for illustrating motion plus they are hard to make notes on to reflect changes.

Pinouts ordered according to soft series. Pins 0-7 are all independen switches wired Normally Closed w/ -24v to Switch COM, and +24V to TB3 COM

Relay is wired directly to the Plasma's trigger circuit as expected.

I'm not worried about z homing, figured it would be nice is all; if it's not going to work I may use it as an estop.

@Islander, I'll give you a heads up on the errors; I've tried to copy text and take shots of the error screen without success previously, I'll look for a screenshot function under accessories like you suggested.

I'm running LNCNC Master 2.8

Any suggestions on where I can get some better (wider & beefier) drive belts?

That will depend which country you are in.
It's probably worth looking on eBay and Amazon.

But I think the normal answer in the US is:

(As I am in the UK I tend to use:
