Faking an OK TO MOVE signal
Does anyone know how you can fake an OK TO MOVE signal if you wanted the machine to function normally without a plasma cutter on it? Hoping Tom from C&CNC reads this, I am confident he would know.

What are you trying to do. If it is just a dry run just check Disable torch and run it. Or are you adding another attachment like a Pen tool or easy scriber. More information would help as in what is your final goal.

Turning off the DTHC does it if you have Mach3

Re: Faking an OK TO MOVE signal
Thanks guys. Adding an easyscriber and it sits still waiting for an OK to move signal. It is running Mach 3 on a rudimentary DIY build with no THC. A buddy helped set up Mach for me because it was over my head. I figured the best way was to just fake the signal somehow.

Re: Faking an OK TO MOVE signal
Its setup wrong. With no THC there is no need for a OK to move Typically the Ok to Move in MACH is via the THC ON named input in the Ports and Pins /Input signals . On some THC ,they handle that input and send send a Hold signal to MACH but you dont have a THC to send anything. Perhaps someone with the Easyscriber can outline how its setup to work without firing the torch or using an input for arc ok.
