Dashboard Fan Object
-
I'm trying to control two "fans" for use as part cooling on my 3HC expansion board using the "1.out3" and 1.out4" pins with 1 being the address of my board. I have the tools named "L Tool Air" and "R tool Air." It appears that in DWC, fan0 is automatically named "Tool Fan" under the dashboard "Fan Control" section. however, If I name F0 with
C"L Tool Air"in setup, the Dashboard will list both Tool Fan and L Tool Air, with both controlling the same fan output. Is there a way to get rid of the automatic "Tool Fan" object in the dashboard so I only have my L Tool Air and Right Tool Air? I'm assuming the Hotend Fans don't show up, since they are thermostatically controlled?

@vbuys The tool fan is the fan mapped to the currently selected tool. It is the one that is controlled by the slicer (i.e. M106 without P parameter). You can change the assignment via the M563 F parameter or yo can remove it altogether by specifying F-1 although you may need a recent beta for this.

@vbuys As @chrishamm has said, the tool fan is the currently selected tool so does give duplication which in some instances can seem unnecessary. However, looking at your configuration, you might find it better to keep it. The reason being that when you have selected P2 (both tools), the Tool Fan of DWC will control them both together, whereas selecting one of the other buttons will only control each fan individually.

@deckingman @chrishamm Thanks for the replies! That clarifies things for me on how DWC operates. and it does make sense to keep it in light of @deckingman comments
