What is the current rating of the torch on relay? Will it power a pneumatic valve or do I need to use a Arduino interface?

Can THC be used with the X2? I found a thread but there was no definitive answer.

@Illbebetter  
Torch on relay is rated at 3A 24VDC

THC and X2 _can_ work together but great care needs to me taken to isolate and ground the table to avoid weird voltage cross talk. Best practice is if either is unneeded then disconnect during cutting.

Cheers

Thank you Andrew.  
I sent you an email requesting the THC code. I haven’t even powered my arcdroid up yet as my power is still off from Helena.

Use quick connect for each line that way you don’t have to connect, re-connect each time you need to switch.
