      Hi *,

      My CR10 has developed a fan problem, again. 😞

      The fan0 (the fan for the printed object, not the hotend) stopped working yesterday. I try do debug it since 4 hours and I do not find any miss-configuration.
      Setup:

      • Duet2 wifi
      • FW 3.1.1
      • Fan 24V
      • VIN 24V
      • V FAN Jumper: V_FAN - FIN
      • Fan connected original FAN0 (Currently FAN1 for testing)
      • All fuses are OK

      Config.g:

      ;; Fans
      ; Fan for the printed part:
      M950 F0 C"fan1" Q500                           ; create fan 0 on pin fan0 and set its frequency
      M106 P0 S0 H-1                                 ; set fan 0 value. Thermostatic control is turned off
      

      I connected the fan for testing with a short jumper cable directly to the board and connected my multi-meter, too. I measure 4V whatever I select in the webui. I tested the fan with a independent power supply and the fan works there but not on the Duet.

      I'm shocked, the fan was working all the time and I can not remember that I reconfigured anything regarding the fan in the recent past.

      What else do I need to look at?

      Cheers, Chriss

        You can try specifying your fan in your tool definition. Add F0.

        Otherwise, check the fan mosfets beside the fan ports for any visible damage.

          Thanks... you are right... both mosfests lifted there housing for better ventilation. 😞 Shit... No, I will not replace it, This is the size of components which I will not touch with a soldering iron any more. 😉 I will talk with my hardware developer, he may trust himself enough to replace them.

          Fan 2 seems still OK, so I will use that one till I blow him off, too 😉
          But here comes the next question. I measure something around 12V to 13V on the FAN 3 when I turn it on to 100%. I expect 24V (VIN) there.

          I have the 12V fans connected to the Duex and the 24V connected to the Duet. Can this have any impact?

          Cheers, Chris

            ouch, optical aids may help of hands are still steady. they're really not that small when considering the space between the pads. on the other hand there is very little room between the mosfet and the fan header - removing the plastic header temporarily makes it easier.

              Sure... My current math is easy here: I have one 24V fan connected on that board and I have one last mosfet left. So no need to put any pressure her, as long as I do not mess up the last remaining. 😉

              And I want to continue my corexy build, the CR10 should print the parts for it at the moment only.

                  Sooooo true...

                  I hope that somebody will jump in and help me to understand the voltage problem. I'm very confused about all of that. The fan was working very fine till yesterday. I printed a holder for the ir-probe for the new corexy and realized that the fan is not working any more. And I have two problems now? Very unlikely.....

                    you should probably elaborate a little on where the measurement is done. if between the two pins on the fan output then a failed mosfet can explain it.

                    if you're measuring Vfan with respect to ground on say Vin then the only thing between Vin an Vfan is a fuse and a jumper - measure the resistance in that path.

                      I hoped that I was clear enough but sure, I can elaborate it more:

                      I connected the fan to "FAN2" now, (because FAN[0|1])are gone. I used only some jumper wires and have the multi meter connected parallel to the fan.
                      Regular setup = 12-13V
                      Between FAN2- and VIN = 12-13V
                      Between FAN2+ and GND = 24V

                      I jumperd the Duex to supply 12V for the fans. My former experience was that the the Duet provided 24V because the fan was spinning. But I see 12V now. Does that makes sense to you?

                        Not unless Fan2 has also failed, just less spectacularly.

                        There aren't any other connections between the Duet and the Duex than the ribbon cable, 24v and ground? Having Vfan in the Duex set to 12v shouldn't affect the Duet2 Vfan unless there is a short in wiring somewhere afaik. (though that might explain the failure in the first place)

                          That should not be the case, I measure 12V there.

                          Nope, no connection

                          And it worked till yesterday.... 😞 I may have blown up the mosfet while I tried to debug the "not so spinning fan". But that was the only change I know about.

                            they don't always fail as a a short or open circuit. if you measure the gate signal to be doing the correct thing but not the drain then its probaly done for.

                              But the mosfed is still adjustable, the voltage drops down to 11-12V when I reduce the fan to 86%. I have never seen a mosfet working like that when it is broken, did you?

                                can't say i have but as the source goes straight to ground and you're dropping 12v between drain and ground then the options are limited?

                                  It is official now: I'm totally confused now.

                                  I have 20V on gate. 20? How? I would have expected 24V here, am I right?
                                  (Yes, it is accurate, only the 3rd digit after the "dot" is going up and down one micro volt. Yes, I trust my Keithley multi meter.)

                                    check your wiring - the gate is driven from the ATSAM directly (through a small resistance), so 3.3v max 😟

                                      You where right... I know now where the 20V came from. Let us forget that post, please. 😉

                                      You are right, there are 3,3V on the gate when I have the fan at max and close to 0 when the fan is at 0%. Let me guess: The mostfet has passed away too?

                                        either the mosfet is dropping 12v drain to source, or the board is dropping 12v from source to ground - either way something needs fixing as far as I can tell.

                                        less than 1v drain to ground when on and loaded is okay

                                        i suppose you could power down and see if you can measure any resistance from drain to source, or source to ground.

                                          Source to ground: 93Ohm, this are my wires.
                                          Drain to source: 24,7kOhm

                                            Just as an idea: Can I use the "ground" from a fan on the expansion (configured to provide 12V) board and VIN (24V) to control the 24 fan?

                                            I need to get that fan back working and it seems to me like all three pwm's on the mainboard ore dead.

                                            Cheers, Chriss
