20 heaters

Aitor

Good morning @dc42,

If I have 10 independent heads, with 2 resistors each and I want to make a Mirror or copy tool and I need to set the temperatures using the following way:

G10 P4 S{heat.heaters[1].active,heat.heaters[2].active,heat.heaters[3].active,heat.heaters[4].active,heat.heaters[5].active,heat.heaters[6].active,heat.heaters[7].active,heat.heaters[8].active,heat.heaters[9].active,heat.heaters[10].active,heat.heaters[11].active,heat.heaters[12].active,heat.heaters[13].active,heat.heaters[14].active,heat.heaters[15].active,heat.heaters[16].active,heat.heaters[17].active,heat.heaters[18].active,heat.heaters[19].active,heat.heaters[20].active}

I received this error, it was clear that it was going to happen, but, is there any way to send it in parts?

Error: in file macro line 1 column 256: M98: GCode command too long

On the other hand it doesn't allow me to send it like this

G10 P4 S101:102:103:104:105:106:107:108:109:110:111:112:113:114:115:116:117:118:119:120
Error: in file macro line 3 column 41: G10: array too long, max length = 8

This was the error it gave me, it only allows me 8 as far as I understand.

Thank you

@aitor very sorry to jumping in here… but…a 10 individual head machine? 10 ?! what kind of hellfire is this?

@aitor You have 20 heaters on Tool 4?

@aitor that's correct, the maximum number of heaters per tool is currently 8 on Duet 3 6HC and Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet. https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/RepRapFirmware_overview#firmware-configuration-limits.

What sort of machine do you have?

Good morning @dc42, @stephen6309, @maracmb

I'm doing a test with a machine with 4 independent heads, to verify if I can put more heads on the machine.

I look at the link you sent me and I'll check my options.

Thanks
