  @dc42 Okay I flashed the firmware with avrdude. Seems to work now.

  I think I got my answer from the SeeMeCNC forum: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=12819&p=110440#p110440 Thanks a lot David. With best regards Stephan

  @curieos said in Programming a smart effector: To continue this, several months later. I finally got around to building a second one. Unfortunately neither of them seem to work. I am able to program them, avrdude recognizes them as attiny44s, but the status light never comes on, and the probe seems to trigger somewhat randomly. Any ideas on troubleshooting? Everything else works fine, all the other lights light up, the only issue is probing. Both boards seem to have this issue. If the green trigger LED never comes on, I suggest you sort that out first. Check that it is fitted the right way round and the value of the series resistor is correct. Also, make sure you are using the correct firmware version - there are different firmwares for the version 1 and version 2 effectors.

  @Veti well i'm not much a fan of PLA. In fact i'd done only ABS for the last 7 years. I'm only using it because this printer came with a whole spool and i'm not finished with my enclosure. 2mm retraction seems to have fixed the problem. I bet 5mm was getting it back up past the heat break and jamming it all up.

  thanks, That´s what I will do, duet fan section Vin pin to input of buck(24V) and Vfan to output of the buck (12v) so they are fuse protectect. just as stated at the wiki.

  @dc42 This is my aproach. I am close to receive my second smart effecto and plan to have also a vocano setup and a v6 setup. But I was planning on using sets of filament named PLA-v6 PLA-volcano and set everything on the config file of each filament with a proper G30 setting. So when I change the tool, then I must change the filament to the proper one, and I hope the config file runs the height change and the bed calibration (not sure yet to use S4 or S6) My concern is, if I leave the filament set on tool, turn off the printer and turn it on, it should run the config.g of that filament when I start the print?

  if i remember correctly the outer box was damaged a bit but the inner blue and white one seemed ok that why i was thinking that it could be the heat sink that hit the effector. thanks a lot for your help !

  @EasyTarget I got the heatsink from a German store here. My existing thread on watercooling in combination with the smart effector might also be of interest to you.

  @T3P3Tony No, nothing else has changed. The only maintenance done (which was done about 2 weeks prior) was me having to remove the Zesty Nimble because of snapped filament. I could not get at the remainder with the extruder mounted. I DO acknowledge that it leads me to reason that i may have upset the smart effector during that maintenance, but I can not really understand why as i wasnt very "violent" Yes, if i tap it the light shows. When moving (even under very low accel) the light is pretty much constant until i start going above 100:55 on sensitivity. I have ordered a new effector (My wallet dislikes me now )

  As described in a separate thread I now use a different way of mounting (the new) water cooled heatsink. This makes tubing a lot neater and should give better performance. I will keep this thread updated with the results once I find the time to properly do some testing.

  @dc42 seems like effector may still work after swapping the fuse, but my effector also has no probe indicator led as illustrated in the docu. Is this for self soldering or are the other two leds intended to glow (which they don't)? I also tested resistors R11, R13 and R14 and they seem more or less fine. But there is still no changing Probe signal as in the beginning.

  Solder PT100 wires to Smart Effector

  @vacalos said in Solder PT100 wires to Smart Effector: I suspect the crimped PT100 connections may cause an intermittently poor electrical connection which results in Heater Faults. If properly crimped, they work fine. I crimp mine with a very inexpensive crimp tool. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/IWISS-Harness-Crimping-Computer-Automotive/dp/B01M1YK5FM/ Assembly Lines use much more expensive ratcheting crimpers, and that's what gets documented as the "required" or "proper" crimper. For a hobbiest, who is not in a hurry, the flat crimpers (linked) produce EXCELLENT crimps for a very low investment. I was wondering if anyone has soldered the PT100 sensor wires to the smart effector. If so, how did you get to the pins underneath the molex style connector on the effector? If you do choose to go this route, I'd un-solder the molex connector entirely, and solder all the wires into the holes where it was.

  Veti, Thanks for the reply. I have use dc42's backlash macro and added the codes to do the same test in the Y direction. It has worked very well and I use it often, especially after mods and/or cleaning. the SD/m in the x direct is 0.005 and nan. In the Y direction is 0.006 and nan. The problem with the reporting error is gone now. I backed up my sd card and did a reset on the board. Kind of harsh, but I needed to get back in production. The DWC now reports head position at -0.15 and the firmware message reports Stopped at -0.151. Not much for the reason why the problem appeared, but it fixed the problem. Thanks again.

  @dc42 Hello I applied option C, I just hope I identified correctly the GND on the PT100 daughterboard, please can you confirm from the picture below ? Thank you
