« on: December 03, 2015, 08:26:46 AM »

Hi all have just finished building a cnc plasma with eBay sourced parts v5 BOB  cw5045 controllers and nema 23 steppers
Have it all running and tested with a marker in torch holder ,it has been a steep learning curve as this is my first venture into the
world of cnc .I am now ready to hook up plasma and was wondering if any one has any suggestion on wiring the plasma trigger to spindle
relay output on the BOB ,should I run it through an external relay first any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
