If the HT sees a control pad attached to it, does that automatically override the systems ability (and default setting) of adjusting the air pressure to the cut amperage? It knows there is a "control pad" out there attached to it. This is where my question/problem lies: when the HT is on and Mach3 is running, a little keypad icon appears on the front display of the HT. ![]() It also, through the G-Code and a Mach3 plugin, has settings for the air pressure. The new software/hardware setup allows Mach3 to control the amperage on the HT. This is very handy as I don't have to twiddle the dial to set the amperage for a cut and I don't have to remember to reset the machine from one cut to another (I only forgot it once in three years of using the old setup but when I did it blew $15 bucks worth of consumables and messed up some plate). The newest, development edition of SheetCAM has settings which, through the POST processor apparently written (or at least modified) by CandCNC, can output a variety of cut parameters to the HT through Mach3 including amperage *and* air pressure. I have a CandCNC DragonCut system I just upgraded to the new DHTC IV and RS-485 interface. ![]() Posting here will maybe help others whereas a call to Hypertherm will only help me. This is very specific to the Hypertherm inner workings and, short of calling for technical support, my best hope is that Jim Colt of Hypertherm will please answer my question.
