PT100 sensor on Duet2 sporadically hunting for target temp

post a picture of the graph when you are getting a heater fault

mitch

Right now I am just trying to get the printer to sit on 210C so I can do a manual bed level. The system just keeps going over and below the target temp and not stabilizing. (see video link above at the bottom of the post).

It is almost as if the additional accuracy of this sensor is causing me all the problems. The fidelity of the sensor keeps my macros from running since it is constantly trying to hit the exact target temp.

Veti

that fluctuation of +/- .5 degree is normal

mitch

My macros don't seem to progress. They are stuck waiting for target temp to be reached. Do I need to specify a tolerance somewhere?

I am also still getting heater faults when printing. I will try to capture that data if I can ever get my bed leveling macro to run.

Veti

post the macro

mitch

It isn't any one macro. It is all of them.

As an example:

M291 P"Preheating the bed to 60 and nozzle to 210 for accurate probing" T0
M104 S210		; Set nozzle to 210 and release
M190 S60		; Set bed to 60 and wait
M109 S210		; Set nozzle to 210 and wait

As just one example, the macro I am running now can never get past the M109 command as it doesn't seem to think that hotend has landed on 210C event though it is +/1 one degree.

Veti

@mitch
that should finish.

whats the next command?

mitch

It doesn't get past it in any of my macros. It just sits and hunts for temp there.

I have print statements, tones, you name it. It never gets past setting temp in the macros.

example from the video:

; Preheat to probing temps
;
M291 P"Preheating the bed to 60 and nozzle to 210 for accurate probing" T0
M104 S210		; Set nozzle to 210 and release
M190 S60		; Set bed to 60 and wait
M109 S210		; Set nozzle to 210 and wait

; Tone to get user attention
;
M400			; Clear movement buffer so tones play reliably
M300 S666 P500
G4 P501
M300 S1111 P300
G4 P301

; Move nozzle to center of bed at Z10 and drop to Z1
;
M291 P"Nozzle will now move to center of bed and move close to the bed" T0
M98 P/macros/general/1_Center_Nozzle ;P move to bed center

; Reset z to 8 to allow jogging up to touch bed to nozzle
;
G92 Z8

; Dialog to allow user to job z to touch nozzle to bed gently and then move Z down 10
;
M291 P"Carefully Jog the Z Axis until the bed and nozzle are touching and click OK" R"Setting Z=0" Z1 S3
G92 Z0      		; set z = 0

@mitch said in PT100 sensor on Duet2 sporadically hunting for target temp:

I am also getting heater faults during prints because it is not staying on temp.

please post the exact message you are getting.

did you use a special M570 command?

mitch

I apologize. Let me be more clear.

I believe I have two heater related issues.

It seems to not progress in my macros because it is hunting to hit target temp even thought it is within 2.5C
I have sporadic heater faults during prints. I need to capture more data on this to troubleshoot it. I have just returned to prints to find the print paused and a heater fault.

Special M570 command?

mitch

@Veti Thanks,

Nope, no M570 defined in config.g or config_override.g files.

Veti

but it does get past the M109 when you print something?

mitch

Yes it does.

I commented out the Tone generation and I saw this particular macro get to about line 79 and then it just drops out. Again, I think I have a few issues going on here so the troubleshooting is a bit confusing. I am trying to rule some variables out.

This is just acting really strange. I can put the lines into the console one by one starting at line 79 and it all works fine. But when I run the macro it just seems to get to around Line 79 and then just exit. No errors or warnings.

jay_s_uk

you don't have your macro in line 80 in ""

@mitch said in PT100 sensor on Duet2 sporadically hunting for target temp:

M98 P/macros/general/1_Center_Nozzle move to bed center

M98 P"/macros/general/1_Center_Nozzle"

mitch

After trying numerous times the macro just started running. Part way through I got the heater fault.

@jay_s_uk Thanks,

I updated the file. Seems to still run the same. But I will make sure to find all the macros that have this command and add the quotes.

Just seems like sporadic behavior.

mitch

This may be a combination of some macro issues due to recent firmware updates as well as an intermittent connection near the hotend probe.

Thanks for the help. I am going to try to nail down the probe issue first to start to rule out some variables and make this easier to figure out.
