Do you guys think there will ever be a plasma version of CNC 12?

Keith,

Can you provide some sample G-Code files you are running now please? I would like to start on my post processor. Also, a list of any new g and m codes being used for plasma specific.

Can the plasma specific boards be purchases separately and work with a current acorn board?
