Re: Fusion 360 Post Processor
I have been running a plasma table with the Buildbotics controller while using Fusion 360 to generate the Gcode. I will help in any way I can. I just now saw this post...

Plasma Torch Height Control (THC)
I am trying to think of ways to integrate THC with the plasma table and the Buildbotics controller. Came across this just a few minutes ago. I briefly read into it, but the height it determined by the voltage.... https://www.vitalsystem.com/portal/cnc/motion/plasma.php?gclid=CjwKCAjwsJ6TBhAIEiwAfl4T...

Re: 6' x 20' Vicon CNC Retrofit
Last night, I had it dry running a cut, and it was running through the relay as it should. It would close the relay when it was cutting and then turn off to move the next cut and fire again. I tested the exact same thing this morning, and nothing LOL The only thing I can think of is I fried the rela...

Re: 6' x 20' Vicon CNC Retrofit
Will this relate to my setup? Here's how to use pin 15 to control the high power load outputs. This method will work for either or both. 1. On the tool page, select PWM spindle, set 'tool-enable-mode' to 'lo-hi', and save your work. 2. On the I/O page, change the load output that you want to use to ...

Re: 6' x 20' Vicon CNC Retrofit
What would be the proper tool-type and pins for a plasma setup to fire the torch?

Short video with the controller running the gantry. Hopefully, I will have the torch connected next week.

Re: 6' x 20' Vicon CNC Retrofit
One thing I am noticing while waiting for other parts to ship. The existing stepper motors show 3.48v, and unless I am misreading something, the controller sends 5v. Should I order parts to step down the voltages? Sorry, some of the questions may be dumb; I am learning as I go with the retrofit.

6' x 20' Vicon CNC Retrofit
I thought starting this topic would help me and others with Vicon Retrofits. I came across several different threads across the web, but not many, if any, solutions. It has been a struggle to get to this point. I came across Buildbotics about a month ago, did some research, and finally ordered a con...
