all duex heaters shorted...

@phaedrux said in all duex heaters shorted...:
If you disconnect everything from the Duex except VIN do the heaters still enable immediately?
damn! that was a good idea, unfortunately the heaters are still enabled (just to be clear, only the heater that is configured in the config is enabled... the LED turns on immediately)
-
@matt3o, hold on a minute .... the only thing that you have going to the board is Vin and presumably ground and the only heater that powers up is the one configured in the config file ???? Something is fishy in Italy ....
This is without the ribbon cable connected between the Duet and the Duex? It should not care what is in the config file! If any heater port powers up with only Vin and ground connected then there is a hardware fault with that heater port. If only one powers up than that would seem to suggest only one defective heater output and not all of them. You should be able to configure a different (free) heater port and be off to the races ..... -
@jens55 I disconnected everything except the ribbon and power.
any heater I configure goes full throttle as soon as I give power
-
Based on that, I would say that the issue is firmware related and not hardware related. I am not very good with config files but you could post your config.g and somebody who knows their stuff might be able to see something that isn't right.
-
Is it all heaters or only the configured heater?
What happens when the ribbon is disconnected as well? If it's a heater mosfet that has failed closed circuit it would enable the heaters automatically.
If it's only your configured heater than perhaps the configuration is not correct. Perhaps the pin has been inverted so that it's on by default.
Please post your config.

I checked with a multimeter and all heaters are shorted (at the same time). I thought it was just the one configured because it's the only one that lights the LED. I tried all the heaters anyway and they all behave the same except the 2 on the duet
I'm pretty sure it's not the config because as soon as I set the heater to one on the duet2 (not the duex) everything works and the only thing that changes is the heater name. I'll try to disconnect the ribbon and also post the config just in case
-
@matt3o, I am not sure if I am looking at the right schematic but what I am seeing is that the LED is connected directly to the output pin. If the output is switched low then the LED will light up. That seems at odds with the report of only one light lighting up.
Could you explain how you measure the fact that the output is shorted? -
this is all very weird and erratic.
so first time it happened I checked the heaters with a multimeter and all of them were shorted (I just check resistance @jens55 ).
I tried to disconnect the ribbon cable as @Phaedrux suggested and everything's fine, of course the duet doesn't com with the duex but the heaters are all open (off).
I reconnected the ribbon (with printer off of course) and now the heaters are all open (off) except for the one that is configured that goes in full blast as soon as I give power. In fact the heater LED turns on right away.
If I set the heater to any one on the duet2 everything works as expected.
-
@matt3o, I don't know what else to suggest. From my end it sounds as if the board is fine and the issue is in the config file but as you say, it works if configured to run the heaters on the Duet.
Sorry .... -
@jens55 thanks for your help anyway, really appreciated it. I'll do some more testing but I'm out of ideas
-
@matt3o what happens if you take the sd card out of the Duet, then power it all up? That way you know the config is not doing anything.
Are the outputs shorted when you don't power on the Duet & Duex? I wonder if the resistance measurement is interfering with things...
Also, what happens if you actually connect a heater to each of the outputs? Do they get hot or does the board blow fuse? Guessing it will already be blowing the fuse if it's actually shorted on the board. -
Please post your config.

Notice how the Duex heater pins are inverted in the listing.
exp.heater3, exp.8, !duex.e2heat, !duex.pwm1 exp.heater4, exp.13, !duex.e3heat, !duex.pwm2 exp.heater5, exp.18, !duex.e4heat, !duex.pwm3 exp.heater6, exp.23, !duex.e5heat, !duex.pwm4 exp.heater7, exp.31, !duex.e6heat, !duex.pwm5So try using: !duex.e2heat

You mean to say duex.e2heat (no bang) ?
-
I'm lost, it's inverted so it should not have the " ! ", right?
-
@matt3o, that is my interpretation .... but then I am no expert on config.g .....
-
Example: !fan2 This means the pin labelled FAN2 on the Duet, but with the drive signal inverted. -

Some of the Duex signals are pre-inverted by the connection to the Duex, so to use the pin names, you need to add the ! to invert them again.

@Phaedrux okay, the behavior was too erratic, I took the time to re-wire everything. On both the duet and duex. What drove me off is that all heaters were shorted when this started happening.
I use CAT6 wires for all not power hungry connections. I realized that they are convenient but also not easy to peel and crimp. They are just one stiff strand of wire. When you peel or crimp they tend to weaken in one tiny spot and break. Everything seems fine at the beginning but they eventually fail if damaged.
Now I've been very careful when peeling and I loosened the crimping tool so it applies less force.
I believe that was the problem. Everything seems to be working now. BTW, it works without the
!in the heater name. That part is a bit confusing in the doc... well at least for a total noob like me.Thanks everybody for the help... I hope this is fixed...
