SIM_TORCH(1)

💖 sim-torch — a simulated plasma torch 💖

okay bestie, so this is sim-torch, a HAL component, and it is exactly what it sounds like: a fake little plasma torch that exists so you can test arc-ok stuff without, like, actual fire. iconic of it, honestly. 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

loadusr Wn sim-torch sim-torch

that's it. that's the whole incantation. loadusr with the Wn flags, then the component name twice because that's just how we do it around here. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

A simulated plasma torch for arc-ok testing.

VERSION: 0.1

ngl she's a baby — version 0.1 and already doing the most. no cap. 👑

🎀 PINS 🎀

okay so here's the pin lineup, and listen, every single one matters, so no skimming. 💅

• sim-torch-rt.cut-noise-in — float, in, default 0.75 — the maximum amount of noise during cutting, measured in volts. it's giving "little bit of chaos while you slice".
• sim-torch-rt.cycles-in — s32, in, default 200 — how many cycles the arc voltage overshoots the cut voltage. the overshoot era, basically. (cycles)
• sim-torch-rt.on-delay-in — s32, in, default 10 — the time from turn on until the overshoot begins. so like, the lil dramatic pause before the moment. (cycles)
• sim-torch-rt.offset-in — float, in — the cut voltage offset. in volts. no default listed, she's free-spirited like that. 🙈
• sim-torch-rt.overshoot-in — s32, in, default 50 — the percentage of the cut voltage that the arc voltage overshoots. (percent) yes the arc is doing too much on purpose.
• sim-torch-rt.ramp-noise-in — float, in, default 5 — the maximum amount of noise during overshoot, in volts. chaos but make it ramp-up era. ✨
• sim-torch-rt.ramp-up-in — s32, in, default 80 — percent of cycles_in that the arc voltage ramps up. (percent)
• sim-torch-rt.start — bit, in — start the arc. that's it, that's the pin, she's the main character. 🌟
• sim-torch-rt.voltage-in — float, in, default 100 — the cut voltage, in volts.
• sim-torch-rt.voltage-out — float, out — output voltage, in volts. the glow-up output. 💜

💀 reminder: she's simulated. do not go cutting actual metal with a fake torch. the vibes are real, the plasma is not.
