Fan Controll Issue
-
sorry didnt see that
-
if you change the config. its a good idea to read the documentation what the parameters do.
e.g
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M950_Create_heater_fan_or_GPIO_servo_pin -
Ok I'm trying this, hope I understood correctly, I've been through that document but I'm not getting it I guess. Its not through lack of trying
; ##### Fans #####
; =================M950 F0 C"fan1" Q500 ; create fan 0 and fan1 on pin0 and set its frequency
M106 P0 S0 H-1 ; set fan 0 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned off
;M950 F1 C"Parts Fan" Q500 ; create fan on pin1 and set its frequency
;M106 P1 S1 L41 X255 B1 H1 T45 ; set fan 1 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned on -
It's not working. Or did I misunderstand and I cant control them??
-
The tool fan or hot end fan is always on and i don't want to control that, the parts cooling fan is connected to the pin in the diagram that i circled, and that's the one i want to control. I can not get them to come on at all anymore.

check that the fan is working by connecting it to the always on fan.
however, if you for example swapped the polarity by mistake and connect the fan, you can blow the mosfet. then the port will either stay on or off, depending on how the mosfet failed.
-
Thanks, I didn't change the connections and it was working, I'm not sure. The first pin Pin0 failed a while back so if you say the config is ok then I guess i have a failed mosfet. Not sure if that's changeable, I've changed a few on my Arduino board.

issue
M106 P0 S1see if the fan turns on.
if not. try fan2 port
-
and just to be sure. you restarted the duet after you made those changes?
-
Thanks ill go try, the software rebooted the duet, ill try turn in off and on physically now

M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin
M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0tempalso B4138 is incorrect. find the correct beta value in your thermistor documentation.

@Veti
OK, i don't have any issues with the hot end or bed heating up and maintaining temp, not sure i understand the connection with the fans? -
its not connected. but an incorrect value with result in an incorrect temperature being displayed.
it could show 200 but the actual temperature could easily be 180

M106 P0 S1
OK ill look into that, but just to confirm its not related to the fan issue?
-
that command is to enable the fan to 100%

ok, after changing that the fans still don't come on at all. Ive put the jumper onto always on and the fans con on just fine.
-
@PeterA
no the beta has nothing to do with the fanIve put the jumper onto always on and the fans con on just fine.
what jumper?
-
Ok.. so after plugging the jumper into always on then back to pin 1 they are now working????
-
Must be like a faulty wiring connection.??
-
Jip, everything now seems to work, I'll replace the connector, it looks OK but somethings off.
