Thanks Bill, I'm doing that today. I also reached out to Chris Burns. I know plasma is legacy, but the VH, VN commands are still current in the Command Reference manual, so should operate in theory.

Thanks Bill, I'm doing that today. I also reached out to Chris Burns. I know plasma is legacy, but the VH, VN commands are still current in the Command Reference manual, so should operate in theory.
To add to the diagnostics. The [VH] command will not stay set on any of the 4g firmwares. I ran the old PRT standard firmware 3.4.27 and at least the [VH] command stays set on it....
Does this mean...
Machine: PRT with 4g upgrade
Software: SB3 version 3.6.46
Problem: Torch height control only sends z axis down, never up despite input #1 being high or low.
Diagnostic steps taken:
(I)...
I'm trying to put torch height control on my bot. The old one is no longer obtainable and aftermarket ones need to use two shopbot input pins for up and down.
The original shopbot THC only used...
Hello all! I have a question about using the "VH" command to raise and lower the torch while cutting.
According to the manual, while in height control mode, the z axis raises if input #1 is low,...
Hey guy's, check out my Electric chair Prop that I'm building. I've used my shopbot on a few of the parts and will be using it more before its over. I plan on mounting two tesla coils on it!
I'm...
The Job doesn't pay enough for it, plus I like the idea of recycling the wrong ones so that I don't just throw them in the garbage/land fill, plus I already have the jig made.
I would like to try...
Hey guys, I got a job cutting some lenes down to smaller lenses. There are no extra's for me to experiment with so I wanted to talk to you guys first. Here is what I've got,
(1) Lexan material 1/8"...
I suggest just buying one and an LED, that's all you need to get going. The Arduino Software comes with lots of examples on how to get LED's flashing and motors turning.
Thats awesome! Do you just spray on primer as well? Is it spray cans or a spray gun?
Thats beautiful...
How long did it take you to paint that?
Here is my first App controlled LED Sign, Built on a bot, and powered with a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino. Check out the video of it in action at my blog.

Dana, I used a V-bit as well, a 10 degree V-bit.
Here is the completed board....
Here's a a couple of pictures showing how small a PRT48 can engrave.
Hey, Guys....Check out my mirror, Its cut out of aluminum on the bot.

Ok guys, I finally got this thing working. It was quite a undertaking for me, I spent alot of time but learned much in return. Basically In the previous attempts which are documented in the previous...
Thanks for that tip Ron, I will implement that when I get home from work tonight so I can check the power supply off the list of potential culprits. I'm thinking it is in the firmware, Last night, I...
Thanks, Dana, I read, and reread your post as well as everyone else's. This is killing me, I've got 8 hours between yesterday and today alone and still no further. I would quit, but this is the stuff...
Guy's, I am going nuts........ I cannot, get this thing to work smoothly, I am back to thinking it's electrical noise again....... Here's where I a at now,
(1) There was once major electrical...
I also want to implement some copper pours that are connected to ground, I figured out how to do it with eagle, but the DXF it exports is made up of too many overlapping polygons to be able to do...
Ok guys, I've progressed a little further. I believe I have eliminted most of the noise issues on the board. I did this by doing a few things...
(1) Added 1uf and 4.7uf caps to the exsisting .1uf...
Hey, Guys, thanks for the tips, I will update you soon as to the progress.
Ron, That Texas Instrument paper is AWESOME! Thankyou for directing my attention towards it! I will let you guys know in...
By the way Dana, Thank you once again! I don't know if you remeber, but a few years ago when I was first getting started programming, you helped me with some code, it's been awhile so I can't quite...
Hey Guys, thanks for the suggestions and compliments.
I do have a logic analyzer, I would have never made it this far without it, here is what I've done for testing.
(1) Analyzed Logic...
