I've done a lot of work with External Offsets under guidance from Dewey. I support pushing it to master. I have a theory which is yet to be tested I think the torch height control (THC) component published with external offsets needs to be on its own slower thread as everything I've read says 1 kHz is too fast for torch height control. I did get as far as building a sim config with the second thread but the Linux partition became corrupt. :(
It will be a while before I get to test this theory as I've sold my plasma cutter with the intention of buying a Hypertherm unit. There is certainly nothing wrong with the external offsets core code or THC component logic.
