Now you are sorted you can learn Halscope.

Also by using auto volts you don't need to compensate for electrode wear.Yea, it seems easier to just let it base it off the actual cut. Seems like that would eliminate a ton of variables. Who has time to ensure my table has the exact same conditions Hypertherm did when they did their testing and came up with those voltages. I'll try autovolts for awhile and see how it goes.

Halscope... *shutters*. Any advice on getting going there?

Have you seen linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/hal/tutorial....ec:tutorial-halscope

Yea, I will vow to reread it though with a clear mind and try to follow their example.
If I’m being completely honest, I find the linuxcnc docs to be written by someone who knows how to use it, for someone who knows mostly how to use it. Sometimes I feel it doesn’t capture the “tribal knowledge” that is inherent in linuxcnc. As I’ve mentioned before, that’s the hardest stuff to get a grasp on when coming in new.
Not to be taken as complaining, just calling like I see it lol

I wouldn’t mind helping/proof reading. I like that kind of stuff and I got used to Creating work instructions at work from the perspective of someone who has never seen a process, computer program, etc before. So if you want a hand, let me know. If you prefer to keep the proofreading off here to not much up the docs, feel free to email me, I think you can grab my email as an admin.
admittedly I got side tracked with testing g code arc ok ignore and tuning my THC. I’ve not done any live torch testing yet, that said, from what I see from the torch off testing I’ve done, I see no reason why it shouldnt work awesome. But no one likes to victory-fail haha...
Since my float switch is so sensitive, I had an idea tonight about how to invoke cut failures (pull up on the torch). The next few nights are busy here, but I have the day to myself Saturday, I’ll put it at the top of the list for plasma cutting.

Speaking of which I need to do some docs for cut recovery. Have you done anything much with that feature yet.
