Gpio pins duet wifi

So no need for an m307

M950 F3 C"heater4" Q500

So would putting this code turn heater 4 pin into a fan?

Yes.

awesome thanks for your help.

In case it wasn't clear, the pins can only sink it source a tiny current. So you'll most likely need to buffer it with a transistor of sorts of you want to control a relay (unless it's a ssr with a turn on current of about 2mA or less). Some pins may be able to do a little more, ref datasheet page 1350++ or so.

well thats gonna be an issue lol. So it only has approx 2 ma of current?

I got a Optocoupler Relay that has the has a separate power and signal input. hopefully it triggers properly.

you might be okay if its a darlington optocoupler, otherwise 2ma might be pushing limits. i'd either look up specs or measure the input current at 3.3v supply and add a series resistor to get below 2ma and see if it still works if needed.

I need help for setting up a relay in my Duet 2 wifi.
I connected the relay as in the picture, but it doesn't work ...
Commands assigned in config.g:

TEST HEATER7
M950 P6 C "exp.heater7" Q500; allocate GPIO port 0 to heater3 on expansion connector, 500Hz
; M42 P6 S1; set 100% PWM on GPIO port 0 (Turn ON)
; M42 P6 S0; set 0% PWM on GPIO port 0 (Turn OFF)

Thanks.

@gianluca Perhaps best to start a new thread with some more details.
