Hi Jim!
Just ran across this thread. I was always under the impression that rigging up a homing switch using an ohmic lead would allow voltages from the plasma cutter when running to basically destroy a computer. Obviously my thinking is incorrect. Can you explain in greater detail on how this is accomplished - to use the ohmic cap as a switch and properly connect it or at least set me straight on this as I would love to go this route instead of the touch-n-go mechanics that give similiar results.
