Thermistor help on new duex5 upgrade.

[JPS0284]

I just installed a new Duex5 and I seem to have everything working other than getting my tool thermistors reading correctly. Long story short one of the screws from the duet fell on the garage floor somewhere so I decided to move the tool heaters to E2 - E3 on the Duex5 till I can mag sweep the floor. Im running a BMG X2-M with 2 mosquito liquids, tool1 on duex.etemp2 is an high temp Slice eng. thermistor and the other is an amazon special "TD 500 thermistor" but I think its a K500 thermocouple which I assume I'm going to need the daughterboard. Both are registering -273.1 C

; Tool1 Heater
M308 S1 P"duex.e2temp" Y"thermistor" T500000 B4723 C1.19622e-7 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin duex.e2temp
M950 H1 C"duex.e2heat" T1 ; create nozzle heater output on duex.e2heat and map it to sensor 1
M143 H1 S280 ; set temperature limit for heater 1 to 280C
M307 H1 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for the nozzle heater and set PWM limit

; Tool2 Heater
M308 S2 P"duex.e3temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 2 as thermistor on pin duex.e3temp
M950 H2 C"duex.e3heat" T2 ; create nozzle heater output on duex.e3heat and map it to sensor 2
M143 H2 S280 ; set temperature limit for heater 2 to 280C
M307 H2 B0 S1.00

; Tools
M563 P0 S"Tool 1" D0 H1 ; define tool 0
G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set tool 0 axis offsets
G10 P0 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C
M143 H1 P0 S450 A2 ; switch off heater 1 temporarily if it exceeds 450°C
M143 H1 P1 S450 A0 ; raise a heater fault if it exceeds 450°C
M563 P1 S"Tool 2" D0 H2 ; define tool 1
G10 P1 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set tool 1 axis offsets
G10 P1 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 1 active and standby temperatures to 0C
M143 H2 P0 S450 A2 ; switch off heater 1 temporarily if it exceeds 450°C
M143 H2 P1 S450 A0 ; raise a heater fault if it exceeds 450°C

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Usually -273 indicates open circuit connection.

If it's a thermocouple yes you would need a daughterboard.

that's what I thought, I olm'ed out both thermistor/thermocouple and Im getting good readings for both so I'm sure its has more to do with my lack of knowledge for the Duex than anything.

Solved, put an end on a old thermistor and its registering temp on the Duex board, time to tear it all back apart again! ::facetious::YAY!
