always on fan not working ( 0.2V )

[alankilian]

@micheldb14 I would say check the solder joints to see if they look poor.

I can't think of a reason to have the 5 Volt LED on and not have 5 Volts at the fan voltage connector.

Maybe @dc42 has an idea about +5 voltage routing.

[Phaedrux]

Can you post a photo of the board and close up of the fan headers?

You're saying the 5v V_fan pin on the voltage selector block isn't providing 5v at all?

[micheldb14]

@phaedrux

Here you can see I only have 0.3V right now on the 5V connector

[Phaedrux]

@micheldb14 And that's measuring fan2 header, correct?

What do you get on the 5v pin of the jumper block itself?

[micheldb14]

@phaedrux

Yes, the 2 wires are connected to the FAN2 pins as shown in the 3rd picture

[droftarts]

@micheldb14 You are measuring FAN2. That's a PWM fan, not an always on fan.

@phaedrux

I think this is how to measure from the 3 pin connector right?

[micheldb14]

@droftarts

oh man..... thanks! I thought FAN2 was the always on fan because it a had a seperate 5V/VIN switch...now it all makes sense...

[droftarts]

@micheldb14 You are still measuring onto a PWM pin (yellow wire), ie it's turned off unless you've defined a fan on it in config.g and turned it on. MOSFETs that controls PWM are always on the negative (ground) side, because they need to be placed after the 'load'.

Edit: Glad you got it figured out!

@droftarts

So just to clear things up.

There is one jumper just to switch between 5V and VIN on FAN2
And the other Jumper is to switch 5V and VIN for FAN1, FAN0 and ALWAYS-ON FAN?

If this is the case, is there a way to set FAN2 as extruder fan so it will turn on when the hotend gets hot? (what now is the case with FAN1)

Post your config.g and response to M115, so we know how it’s currently set and what firmware you are on.

@micheldb14 said in always on fan not working ( 0.2V ):
This defines and sets Fan 1

M950 F1 C"fan1" Q500 ; create fan 1 on pin fan1 and set its frequency
M106 P1 S1 H1 T45 ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on

Add this for Fan2:

M950 F2 C"fan2" Q500 ; create fan 2 on pin fan2 and set its frequency
M106 P2 S1 H1 T45 ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on

Tested and its working!

Thanks a lot!
