Chamber heater wiring problem
-
Did you try plugging the bed thermistor into the E1 connector as I suggested? This would tell us whether it it the thermistor that is at fault.
In the error state, what is the temperature reading?
-
I did, infact I tried a spare thermistor, then I tried with a new thermistor plugged into the spare channel so that it had a thermistor in each channel. Then I swapped them around. No such luck.

And the temperature reading?

I don't get a reading, it just says "error", unless I use the X3 parameter, in which case I get 88

It's been a while since I tested the chamber heater support, so I'll re-test it.
You could a!so try plugging the thermistor into the E0 thermistor connector and using X1 in your M305 P2 command.
-
That also gave me an error state with a large negative temperature. I'm wondering if the combination of the first hotend temperature control using a PT100 is a factor?
-
Use of a PT100 for the hot end shouldn't affect the availability of the E0 and E1 thermistor inputs.
Perhaps you have a bad crimp connection on the thermistor? As you have a known working bed thermistor, try plugging that into the E0 or E1 thermistor connector, and your other thermistor into the bed thermistor connector, to see what readings you get.

Thanks! That was exactly the suggestion I needed to figure it out. Turns out the 5 thermistors I have on hand that came with connectors pre-crimped, something is wrong with them. None of them give a temperature reading, but plugging in the bed thermistor gives a sane chamber reading. Obviously that means something is wrong or unknown about my spare thermistors. An ohm meter also doesn't give a reading with them. Must have got a bad batch.

yup, all 5 crimped onto the insulation instead of bare wire, by the supplier.
