Re: 2 Axis Motion at Last, Plasma machine

Hi -
I just dropped in on this thread, but it sounds like something I
just ran into. I switched computers on my plasma table and all of a
sudden none of the toggles would work, turns out the new computer
couldn't drive the electronic relays, so I added a 7404 and double
inverted on it to buffer and now it works. what seemed strange is
that the software wouldn't even show the spinde or coolant as being
on. ( I'm using master5 )
Good luck
