Yes. Bob Campbell and the designer of the Sound Logic breakout card
have partnered with me to offer a version of the THC. They are going
to provide some additional features that will give it even greater
functionality. The sensing of the arc current within the plsama
machine for feedback to the THC was going to be a problem because
every brand of machine did it differently. They have worked out a
way to use a low cost AC current sensor that will be easy to install
and will work with any plasma cutter from 25A to 200A. The units are
several weeks away from being available but will be worth the wait.
Great care is being taken to maintain total isolation between the
plasma unit, THC conroller and the PC.
Coupled with MACH2 the THC will offer all of the features of an
expensive commercial unit ($$$$$) for a fraction of the cost. You
will need a registered version of MACH2 before you can use the THC
option.
