Controller build for Plasma

There isn't a 7i96pl.bit but there is a 7i96dpl.bit. Is that the one?

Thanks!

@snowgoer540. I removed 2.9 and installed 2.8. Do you recommend using the mesa config tool and starting clean or modifying a community configuration?

I noticed that the LED's on the THCAD-5s blink at different frequencies. The are both set to f/32. Not sure if that is significant?

Sorry been a busy night here. The dpl file is correct.

I would use pncconf to get a working config personally. You’ll want everything to work before you do the configurator. Limit switches, etc. some of it you won’t be able to do anything with (float switch, torch on, arc ok, etc), but just keep a list of where you hooked everything.

From the THCAD manual:

“The THCAD has a yellow LED (CR2) that monitors the output frequency and a green LED (CR5) that monitors isolated input side 5V power, These LEDS can be used a a crude indication of THCAD operation. In normal operation, the green LED should glow steadily, while the yellow LED should blink. The blink rate is output frequency/262144, or roughly 0.5 Hz at 0 input and 3.3 Hz at full scale input.”

It will vary slightly due to your calibrations I think if I read that right. The big takeaway is they’re blinking, seems good to go.
