I am looking for an english vido or manual on the correct install for the cpc port on my hypertherm 45xp for my arcdroid . so far this process has been painful. i have the machine torch and i received the cpc port but no instructions and no male portion either so i need to know where i can get those hopefully locally and the correct wiring for the male plug . so far its like looking for gold the only vidoe i saw was in spanish and not very well done when your english ---

I’m drawing in unit less and have tried either way with no difference ---

what units have you set on the Arcdroid? its usually best to use the same units in the CAD program to save having scaling headaches. If you have a DXF ready to go send on here and I will resize it quickly for you if you are still struggling ---

Im drawing in autocad with unit less and the arcdroid is set to metric I can resize the drawing myself it’s just frustrating to have to every single time ---

Yeah I’ll have another look through the setting see if I’ve missed something ---

I just recently went through this same problem. Really no info on how to do it on videos. I purchased my cpc port through Amazon as well as the machine torch and the male plug and cable. A very expensive investment but I didn’t want to hack the hand held torch. I did receive an instruction manual for the cpc port install, and the male cpc plug wiring is covered in the original Hypertherm manual. Originally I thought I could just breeze though the install manual but after several misinterpretations I followed the manual step by step and it got me though the install with no further problems. The interface cable with the male cpc plug was a little more difficult to understand and I originally miswired it to the Arcdroid. Luckily I realized my mistake before turning things on and saved myself from most certainly damaging my equipment. I have it all up and running correctly an am just now learning about the Arcdroid settings I would be willing to guide you through the install process by whatever means necessary. Just let me know how I can help. ---

i am still without this unit operating , i must say of al the equipment ive bought between hypertherm and arcdroid they have been the worst in regards to explaining anything . even with a miriad of machines the use of the cnc port for hypertherm should be completly explained and arcdroid does not even go so far as to explain what aux 1 &2 are for …who does that , not explaining all the parts on your machine , cant say id recomend this unit to anyone based on their public relations its like okay we built the machine the rest is up to you ---

Aux 1 and 2 are outputs from the arcdroid for future options, one of them is 24v for a future laser cutter option. There is an old thread where this was discussed but for now only the X2 plugs into those ports.
