Firmware for 4 Zone Bed Heater
-
I have a bed plate which has 4 silicone bed heaters. Each heater has its own SSR and thermistor, which are connected to a duet3 mainboard 6HC. There is a expansion board connected to the mainboard, but all connections for the bed heater are being made on the mainboard.
Here are the actual connections:
Bed heater 0 relay is out9 and thermistor temp0
Bed heater 1 relay is out6 and thermistor temp1
Bed heater 2 relay is out5 and thermistor temp2
Bed heater 3 relay is out4 and thermistor temp3Below is the config I have for the heaters. I am not sure if it is correct. I included the whole config.g but the part I am concerned about is in sections labeled bed heater. I am wondering are the thermistors correctly tied to their respective heater, and if so how is this being done? Are there any problems with this code I have never done a 4 zone bed heater.

The T parameter in the M950 command is what "connects" the heater to the temp sensor.
Regards your M140 command - from the M140 docs:
In RRF3 a M140 command with H parameter (other than H-1) must come after the M950 command that creates that heater, and before any M143 command that sets a temperature limit for that heater.

@feynman137 said in Firmware for 4 Zone Bed Heater:
M140 H2:H3:H4:H5 ; set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C
This is not a valid usage.
You can also send M98 P"config.g" in the gcode console to check for syntax errors.
; Tools M563 P0 D1.1 H0 F0 ; define tool 0 G10 P0 X23.9 Y-28.21 Z0 ; set tool 0 axis offsets G10 P0 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C M563 P1 D1.2 H1 F1 ; define tool 1 G10 P1 X-23.9 Y-28.21 Z0 ; set tool 1 axis offsets G10 P1 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C The D values are also not correct. They refer to the the extruder drives as they are defined from 0 onward. They do not use the same prefix digit as the board addresses.
D0 is the first defined extruder, D1 is the next, and so on.

If you're going to edit the config.g commands directly, it's best to read the gcode wiki entry for that command first instead of winging it.

@fcwilt thanks for telling me this. Does it mean that I have to do an M140 command after every bed heater I create, and what would that look like? My would be that I need to create a block of code like below for each heater:
; bed heater0 M308 S2 P"0.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 2 as thermistor on mainboard pin temp0 M950 H2 C"0.out9" T2 ; create bed heater output on 1.out0 and map it to sensor 2 M140 H2 ;assign heater to bed M307 H2 B0 S10.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for the bed heater and set PWM limit M143 H2 S120 ;set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C -

Yes.

@phaedrux I see I was thinking it was as they were referred to in the M584 command. What makes something the first extrusion drive though? Is it the one with the lower number in the M584.
To your comment about the wiki, I will do this going forward. Sometimes I have a little difficulty navigating when the example gets so specific.

Yes, starting with the lower driver number onward.

Yes.
In this case does he need...
M140 P0 H0
M140 P1 H1
etcor is the P value inferred from the position of the M140 command?
The docs mention multiple bed heaters but do not provide an example - perhaps that should be added.

Yes he would since the default is P0 if not specified.

@phaedrux @fcwilt Thanks for the M140 P comment I have added this to the code, and made the other described changes it should be up to date.
