    Electronics Help

    Newb here looking for cnc plasma table advice. Sorry, if this has been asked a million times.

    So far here is what I have come up with.

    Gecko G540 Motor Control
    candcnc.com Torch Height Control MP3000E-DTHC
    4 stepper motors
    Power supply
    EMC

    Am I even close?

    I'm not familiar with torch height control, but the one you linked may be designed for use with Mach. EMC can interface with darn near anything, but there might be easier choices for EMC. I would recommend asking on the emc-users mailing list or IRC channel:

    LinuxCNC.org - Community

    As for the rest of the setup, the G540 definitely works well with EMC, so you're getting warmer at least.

    I believe Big John is using Mesa's torch height control:
    THCAD High isolation A-D accessory on this page:
    AIO Daughter cards

    He might chime in here....
