Hotend pid makes motors pulsate
-
Can you post your config for each printer? What thermistor are you using? What does the temp graph look like while printing? Have you redone the PID tuning?
-
Are you certain it is the hot end PID that triggers this, not the bed PID? The bed PID would be much more likely to.

it is, absolutely not, a heated bed, cause it does not have any... no need for it, on a pla-only printer

configs has nothing to do to with it, but youre welcome to have a copy of it.. but it is not that, since it happend during a print.... only thing that actually made it possible to get rid of the waves, was a brand new board...
yes ofc i have..... i have done everything and more than imaginable... it doesnt do any difference changing anything to the heatercontrol.... i have changed EVERY PART possible....NOTHING could make the waves better or worse - only microstepping and gearing changed the distance between the waves... - which indicates to me that the issue is NOT mechanical.. this is repeatable and redoable on both duets, on both my delta and ultimaker 2,...

I have just borrowed a brand new board from a buddy, and it doest not have these issues.. also, the MCU temp on this ned board never gets above 29c..... but both of my boards have a working temp of around 44-49c.....
that is within the range of the deviation.
see
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_the_CPU_temperaturecould very well be, that it is inside the range... but it used to be colder/have had my duets for 1.5 year-2years).. so it could be a sign, of some internal mishaps, vercurrent, something... but the temp increase happend around the same time as the issues started... i noticed the hotter mcu temp, and noticed that my printer could not keep up with the same speeds on retract(just to take an example), that made my z motor skip or take extra steps.... but i thought it was just due to the higher temps in spring/summer, than in the winter..... but no, as soon as i turn on the board, the temp fly's up to that range, that is not normal...
i know these packages are made to last pretty high temps, but theory isnt everything..... - your cpu in your pc, can also die due to too high heat, even though youve never hit the max temp..... but i agreee, it should be inside range... but since it happend, out of nowhere, long time ago, i believe it is not normal, in my case... usually, when this happens to bga chips, it is due to power delivery or a short.... -

why would my config be relative, when i already have tested that it works fine with a new board ? - just wondering..
-
It just gives a clearer picture of how the printer is configured and can sometimes highlight other related or unrelated issues.
-
@johnjohn1990 how quickly does the MCU temperature rise from cold when you turn on? Also sorry to be a pain but can you try one of the boards with nothing plugged in and powered only by USB to see if the same temperature rise is observed?
-
You said that a light on the printer is flashing or pulsating when the PID kicks in. What light is that, and how is it powered?
