Since I also need to get my friend's lightning cnc 5x10 table going, I'm thinking that rather than fight the learning curve of two different setups, it would be best to replace his current setup with the same thing I'll be running on my machine once it's done. I picked up a raspberry pi/protoneer setup for a cnc router that I'm building and want to add plasma capabilities to it down the road. Rather than buy another junky old tower and go through the hours of setting it back up right, I'm ready to move on to more modern tech. I've set the whole machine up and checked all connections multiple times so I'm pretty sure I've just been fighting a dying computer, and we may have killed the thing for good today by welding on the table and forgetting to disconnect the plasma work lead first. It will work fine for an hour, then go nuts. At first, it was software/virus issues on the computer and I finally sorted that all out but the system constantly loses setup info and does random stuff. I've been fighting a friend's Windows/Mach3/Gecko setup for well over a month. Have any of you guys experimented with GRBL and a Proma TC?
