RRF 3 Fan with virtual heater control not working
-
Hello everyone
I just tried to use the virtual heaters 100,101,102 to control a fan (no. 0) as follows:
M950 F0 C"duex.fan3+duex.fan4" M106 P0 T45 H100:101:102Unfortunately I get the error "Sensor number out of range". Is there a new way on how to utilise the mcu temp and driver temp for fans?

Did you define H100, 101 and 102 with M308? The way virtual heaters works has changed with RRF3:
This code replaces M305 in RepRapFirmware 3. In earlier versions of RepRapFirmware, sensors only existed in combination with heaters, which necessitated the concept of a "virtual heater" to represent a sensor with no associated heater (e.g. MCU temperature sensor). RepRapFirmware 3 allows sensors to be defined independently of heaters. The association between heaters and sensors is defined using M950.
See the examples in M308 for guidance.

It might be nice if the M308 page actually told you that you can only have Sensors 0-31 defined. I converted my Duet Maestro config which used Virtual Heaters 100,101,102 to the RRF3 and took a little while to notice I couldn't setup sensor 100. Trial an error messages only let me go up to 31. It would be helpful if there was a note on the M308 GCode command.
I'm including this here for the next guy who ends up with the same issue I had trying to create the Virtual Heater 100, 101, 102.

@PDBeal A note has been added to M308 regarding the limit of 32 sensors. Sorry you have to discover that through trial and error.
