Part 1: I am wanting to turn off and on the plasma cutter with the Blackbox. I have a 2-pin CNC output on the plasma cutter. I have found here on Open builds how to do this with Blackbox relay for this and also setting the M3 / M5 jumper. Using the Openbuilds CAM software and selecting ON-OFF Plasma get me G-Code etc. So I'd say this part is done and understood. Part2: Then there is the question on the limit switch that is on the Z-Axis that does the touch off by driving the z-axis / torch down and floating mechanism up to make contact with the switch. Where is this wired on the Blackbox? Thinking this Is wired to Z-Axis or Limit switch or pump etc. on the Blackbox as a open or closed ? Wasn't sure if there was a good video or wiring diagram like the one on Openbuilds document site for Plasma that show this for the Torch ON/OFF switch wiring but for the touch off. I hope my questions make sense and many thanks in advance.
See docs:blackbox-4x:connect-plasma [OpenBuilds Documentation] Wired to the Probe input. Checkout the comprehensive videos below to understand it better - they are long, but well worth every second First one - drag head and touch off switch explained in here Second one Last one
Thank you, I've watched those videos previously. I think your key here it was "wired to the probe". Which would make a whole lot of sense. I will go back and review these videos out again. Many thanks for the insane quickness for the reply, it's greatly appreciated...
I did an edit to the post - to add the documentation link. Submitted the edit as you were typing so check back up
