More than a diagram, its actually in the docs.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma...r.html#ohmic-sensing

Ah that's where it was hiding. I searched the manual and did not find it It would be nice to put a link in the main manual to the primer .

I had read the Primer when PlasmC first started but forgot it had that in it.

On the fourth line:

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasma...e.html#_introduction

I don't think there is any place for instructions about hardware and circuit diagrams in the plasmac software manual. It really should be in the primer.

Sorry Rod but I can't agree with that The Primer is an introduction and not a manual and there are examples of all sorts in the manual including RS-485 connections and and ArkOK suggestions. A link around section 29 would help others looking for it.

I know that you and Phil are very active and probably can recite the manual backwards. But once you have read the primer then you progress to the manual and that for most people is the bible .

Or perhaps, there could be just one document starting with the primer then following on to the manual

Just wondering what could be wrong in having the two docs amalgamated into one. The first being a preface
