If the fans are 5v then you want the jumper to bridge 5v and v_fan

I moved the jumper to the left to bridge 5v and v_fan and the the print head / extruder fan started to blow slower. I didn't check to see if the nozzle fans we wroking as I shut it off to not damage anything. The print head / extruder fans are 24v and the dual nozzle fans are 5v ( according to the M3D website. ) Do they run off of the same circut?
-
Yes the V_fan pin provides voltage to the fan headers, so when bridged to vin they will get whatever your VIN is.
So setting it to 5v means yor 24v fans are only getting 5v, and so spinning slower. Going the other way and bridging to vin would mean the 5v fans are getting 24v and spinning faster and probably popping.
The Maestro has 2 fan blocks either with independent voltage selection jumpers, but the wifi only has 1.
To use the 5v fans you would have to supply them with their own 5v source (easiest would be a buck converter) and then the negative pin back to the fan header negative pin so they could still be PWM controlled.
Or simply get all 5v or all 24v or all 12v fans and bridge the jumper to5v or 24v vin, or supply 12v via a buck converter to the v_fan pin.

I can run 2 12v fans in series and that would create a 24v circuit correct?
-
I wouldn't do that unless you don't care if you have to replace them. Just use a buck converter, fans aren't just resistors and there's a pretty good change the fans will be exposed to the full 24v at some point. Buck converter is cheap and easy to get. Amazon has 10 packs for $10.

Basically I'm not getting the nozzle fans to run and I want to make sure I hooked them up correctly from the Maestro to Wifi migration. I checked the fans and they work as well as the wiring. They worked when they were on the Maestro so I know the connection was solid. Temporarily I'm going to run the two 12v fans in series until the 24v fans get here, but in any event they should be running. The Wifi board has a fuse and the always on print head / extruder fan is working fine so I know the board should be working fine as well. I tried to heat the nozzle to make sure the fans would kick in and still nothing… I switch the fans to the F500 setting too… It’s almost like they are shut off?

The confirm S1 will turn them on correct?

Yes, M106 S is for the speed. 0 is off, 1 is full on. decimal values between act like a percentage. 0.5 is 50%

So the fans are still not on. I plugged them into a separate 12v and also into the 24v print head / extruder fan port and the fans and my temp wiring are working fine. I've switched them on via S1 in the config file as well. Am I missing something else? Is it possible that the connector needs flipped like most of the other had? Odd that the print head / extruder fan works fine and not the nozzle fan... Can I switch that to a different port? Thanks !

It's possible that the mosfet for that fan port has blown. Can you get a good close up photo of the area around the fan ports?
You can see an image of what a damaged mosfet looks like, though they don't always look like this.

Its a brand new board so I hope that's not the case...

The plug is hiding one of them in shadow, so I can't see it. The others I think look ok, but it's a bit blurry. It can work best to get a good focus from a bit farther away and then zooming in a bit.

Where I have it placed I can can't move it that easily and I just got the bed leveled which is a nightmare in and of itself... But that last one looks okay too... It's a fused board so I thought if I had don't anything major it would have either popped the fuse or blew up that fans. Aforementioned the fans are confirmed to be working. I'm going to double check the wiring harness...

The fuse is a lot slower to pop than the mosfets.

That's good. Now for the port.
If you switch one of the other 24v fans to the port and send M106 P1 S1 H-1 command to turn the fan on, where P is the fan number.
Can you post your config.g?
I'm also not sure how wiring the 2 fans in series will affect the PWM control. How exactly do you have the fans wired?
-
@Phaedrux From what I understand and what I've tested wiring the 2 - 12v fans in series to draw 24 v worked and does work for now. I plugged it into the always on port and it worked.
Is there something you can see in my config file Maestro related that I forgot to change or that I need to remove for the Wifi board to function properly? Fan or otherwise?

M106 P1 S1 H-1
Do I insert that into the config file? I just sent the G code ( which gave me a java script error )
If for some reason that port was bad I can run it from fan F0 or F1 correct?

@Stephenbright Are you still using firmware 2.03 beta3? Please send M115 and post response. What DWC version are you using? This is shown in DWC in Settings > General in DWC v2 and v3, and in Settings > Software information in DWC v1.
It's quite possible that wiring two 12V fans together has or will cause a problem, and @Phaedrux has been clear it's not advised, and we do not recommend it. If you choose to do it, it's your responsibility.
M106 P1 S1 H-1
That looks like a perfectly valid Gcode to me, and you should be able to run it from the Gcode console in DWC, or send via a serial terminal if connected by USB. Did you type it into the browser address bar by mistake?
As @Phaedrux suggested, test all the fan connections with a 24V fan to check function. First check the fan works on the 'always on' fan connections, then plug it into fan0, fan1 and fan2. You should turn off power when you disconnect or connect a fan, as if the fan pins are turned on, it may damage the MOSFET. With the 24V fan connected to each fan output, send the following gcode to turn each on:
M106 P0 S1 H-1 ; Fan0
M106 P1 S1 H-1 ; Fan1
M106 P2 S1 H-1 ; Fan2Report back what does, or does not, work. Be aware that some two-wire fans don't work with PWM, though should all work with 100% PWM (ie S1).
I don't see any error in your config.g relating to the fans, and the code for Duet 2 Maestro is the same as for Duet 2 Wifi.

Firmware: 2.05.1 (2020-02-09b1)
DWC: 1.22.1
None of the Mosfets look blown. Again it's a new board and I haven't printed anything as soon as I noticed that the nozzle fans were not on. I realize is can blow quick but with the fuses and the lower voltage fan, I would think the fuse or the fan would blow before anything else...
I had the 5v fans installed and I know those were probably blown due to the jumper not set the same as a Maestro from the factory...
No I did not type the gcode in the address bar...
I have 24v fans coming, but I wanted to make sure they were working so I am trying to work with the 2 - 12v fans. I thought they would at least work so I know the board is set up correctly. Long term yes I will use the 24v fans. I can install them and can report back then as I don't want to do any damage...
Until then I had tried to send the gcode you suggested while the fan was plugged into P2 only. I didn't want to try the other ports until I get the 24v fans **
When I type :
M106 P2 S1 H-1 ; Fan2
I get :
PMM106 P1 S0
PMM106 P0 S0
PMM106 S0Then a JAVA error and DWC disconnects?
Thank you !

DWC: 1.22.1
That's a pretty old version of the DWC, and even out of date for DWC v1, so I guess this is a bug in the old version of DWC, as it doesn't do this for me in DWC v1.22.6. On my test rig I have only one fan defined. When I send
M106 P0 S1 H-1 ; Fan0(the '; Fan0' part is just a comment, and can be removed) in DWC v1.22.6, if the fan is already defined (ie fan 0) it turns the fan on. If I sendM106 P2 S1 H-1 ; Fan2when I don't have a fan2 (P2) defined, a new fan is created on the Machine Control page (and turned on to 100%). I'd guess that this is what is not working in the old version of DWC, and causing the Java error. Alternatively, configure all fans in your config.g, so they all show at start up.So try updating to 1.22.6 (the last DWC v1 version) by downloading "DuetWebControl-1.22.6.zip" from https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.05.1
Then upload the zip file (don't decompress it) by going to Setting > General > File Upload and click on the big blue 'Upload File(s)' button.Is there any reason your are using DWC v1 rather than the newer version? To update to the latest, download "DuetWebControl-SD-3.1.1.zip" from https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.1.1 and follow the same process as above. Both versions of DWC can coexist, so you can switch between them. DWC v3.1.1 has a 'Revert to DWC1' link in 'Machine-Specific > Machine-Specific'. To go from DWC1 to DWC3, remove 'reprap.htm' from the end of the IP address of your printer in the browser's address bar.
