Ok, I'm not finding it on here. I now have a plasma that puts out an arc good signal, and was wondering how to integrate that into the Gcode. I understand how to connect the signal in and define it in Mach - just not how to make the machine pause motion until it is there. I'm using Sheetcam, btw.
Second question - is there an easy way to do corner slowdown either in Mach or sheetcam so it is automatic?
Thank you,
Jason

If you use the THC300 post file for Sheetcam and click the THC button in Mach it should just work. It will ignore the torch up/down signals if they are not there (no THC), but it will wait for the arc good signal before moving.
I can't answer your second question, but that's something I'm interested in too. You can loop corners in sheetcam, but I don't know about slowing.
