How to debug THC setup on STM32F4? #9
Description
I try to build a Plasma cutter with a STM32F411 "blackpill" .
It skd looks like working a bit, but does not really match the expectations from documentation and source code.
The pattern is similar to #8, but not related to sth like MCP3211 :
- Plasma Plugin is listed, but not in "NEWOPT"
- no THC section in ? output
- thc.c code is greyed out in STM32cubeIDE
- only part of the expected configuration variables are listed
- M6X commands throw error
I messed around with preprocessor conditionals, but in the end, after configring an analog input, I found that obviously at least some thc functionality is implemented.
Some details:

upper end of configuration:
This is what worries me most - many variables listes in thc.c and in https://github.com/grblHAL/Plugin_plasma are missing

My gut feeling tells me that quite some stuff might still be broken...
Ho can I pin this down?
