    Hello
    I have managed to interface Proma SD for THC to BlackBox Motion Control System with successful results.
    If there is interest I can describe how to do it?
    Sincerely
    Bengt Carlsson

    I am very interested.

    Did you run into issues with damaging onboard drivers?

    thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I broke the signal (5 V dir and step) inside the Openbulds blackbox between the controller and the connection to the drive circuit for the Z-motor.
    I connected the signal from the controller to Proma SD and then I connected the signal back from Prom SD to the drive module in Blackbox.
    I have some pictures of what I have done and also a schedule that I can share if there is interest.
    With kind regards
    Bengt Carlsson

    Hi Bengt, great work! Very interested in this! Id like to try it myself. I have just got my openbuilds plasma up and running with a floating head design and am already noticing how important a THC controller is.

    All the best, Sean.

    Hi Sean,
    Excited, me and my son Fredrik are starting to find the parameters to get good cuts with our plasma.
    Good luck
    With kind regards
