Hello,

i have a DIY plasma table Running with mach3 in combination with the csmio/ip-m

the question i have is how to adjust the post processor so that i can set a user dro (for Torch voltage set point) now i have to do this manually every time.
but is it possible to set this by sheetcam in the tool section so that i don't forget to set it right.

What exactly do you mean with "user dro" ?
So what do you want to have in your g-code?

finaly time for hobby things.

what i do i mean with my question.

i have made my own mach3 screen for use with my plasma table.
I’m using a csmio controller card and this can transform 0-10volt to display ±130 volt in a dro for readout. by a little calculation in a marcopump.
i'm using almost the same calculation for a dro where i input my target voltage. this set a 0-10 volt output direct on the input(Not possible in the software) . this is uses for torch height controlling.

now the question again
i have a DRO in my machscreen for target voltage. my question is setting this DRO from/ In combination with sheetcam in the tools library so i doesn’t forget to adjust the voltage and the torch is always on the right height.

this is the first option i want to implant in the system when this is operative and i understand how to use it then i could use it for more kind of things

I would like to insert a picture with it but I doesn’t no how to
Could sent it by facebook or so

Sorry I still don't know what you wanna do. Sure that putting it into the G-Code is the right way?
And you can attach images here. See Attachments below.

I think I know what you are looking for. It depends on the post processor you use. Some of the basic ones won't have the settings for DTHC in the tool table. The one I use is the DTHC-HYT-DTHC_ SOftPierce. with this Post processor you get the added setting for torch height.

This is someting i looking for, but how to make the extra colums in the tool table, could you share your postprosessor file so i can see how to add it.

You have to add custom tool settings to the post to have them show up in the table.
But then you have to edit the post to make them.di something. If you look at some of the posts you should see how they are created.

Does your Mach configuration have a G-code or M-code to set the torch voltage set point?

No i doesn't have a cod for setting torch voltage in the g-code because i can't find out how to do it.
i have a a user dro in mach3 that i planing to use for but i have to do this no manualy en sometime i forget this,
so i know there's a option to get this done by sheetcam but i can find out how to

The post can't set a DRO directly. You would need some way for the post to tell Mach what torch voltage to use. This is normally done with a custom M-code macro.

Do you have an example how to do this i doesn´t know how to do it right no
