    There is probably a simple solution to this but i cannot figure it out myself. I built the plasma table, everything works great except that when plasma starts penetrating the arduino looses connection with open builds. I am working on this problem for a month but i have no idea what could that be. Please help i am really excited to start using the machine

    this is electrical interference, known as EMI. basically, the plasma spark is a big radio wave transmitter, and the arduino is receving the signal and getting confused.

    you have to work through and address everything in the EMI FAQ
    docs:blackbox-x32:faq-emi [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    and btw, not stupid, ignorant, not knowing something is not stupid, and asking about it is clever (-:
