Question about fan config
-
I have a Duet 3 with a Toolboard. For layer cooling I use dual 4010 blowers(2 wire). I would like to have 1 fan connected to out1 on the toolboard and the other connected to out2. How would I set this in the config?
I thought it would be something like this but i got the error for unknown pin name

M106 P0 C"Layer Fan" S0 H-1Try it with C"20.out2+out1" - assuming the 20 is correct.

@fcwilt Thanks for the suggestion. That got rid of the error but I can't turn the fan on through DWC.

Do you see a slider control for the fan?

@fcwilt Yes I do. I was mistaken at first. The fans wouldn't turn on initially but it turns out my mouse was acting buggy.
The left fan that is connected to out1 has the positive wired to VOUT and the negative to OUT1_NEG and that can be turned on and off in DWC
The right fan that is connected to out2 has the positive wired to VOUT and the negative to OUT2_NEG and that fan is always on.

As a test try configuring two fans, each using one output. You should get two sliders which will allow you to verify that you can control each fan using each output.

@dhusolo configure two separate fans (so 2 M106 and M950) and then map them both to the tool in M563 e.g. F1:2
