Temperatures totally wrong 3.4 RC

dc42

@jensus11 @Hernicz @resam @TheDragonLord I've put 3.4.0rc2+2 binaries at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/amtiizdcylnuaye/AAA4hzXFvU0RMOSDtdT37HFua?dl=0 for testing. These should fix this issue. Although the changes are minor, please test them with care.

ok, thanks

Thank you guys for this thread. Up until a few moments ago I was sure it was in my head and been like this forever and expected.

It wasn't as bad as some state here, but at certain temperatures RRF tried to keep the "wrong temperature". It's within a few degrees up until 215C. At 215C and above it tries to hold ~230C - and that quite for quite some time - before going down to 220C. It seems like it tried to over-compensate at that temperature.

For reference here are my tuning params (Rapido hotend, HF configuration, Gdstime 5015 fan - 12V running @24V @100%):
; Heater model parameters
M307 H0 R0.234 K0.184:0.000 D0.80 E1.00 S1.00 B0
M307 H1 R4.502 K0.516:0.459 D5.09 E1.35 S1.00 B0 V23.9

I'll report back it it looks better on the 3.4 RC2+2, but I highly suspect it might.

@dc42 Unfortunately I can't test it. I have to wait until gloomyandy releases a new FW.

@dc42 I just tested 3.4rc2+2 and can confirm that, at least for me, it behaves much better controlling the hotend temperature.

I have a regular E3Dv6 hotend and a Maestro card. With 3.4rc2 it did overcompensate substantially for the fan and did not return to the target temperature after a fan burst. It often remained over 4 degrees above target.

With 3.4rc2+2 it seems to compensate perfectly for varying fan speeds. I had a slight overshoot (ca 1.5 degrees) at initial heatup, and a slight undershoot (ca 1.5 degrees) when the fan first started. For the rest of the print, it stayed within +-0.2 degrees of target. I have not yet done a new PID tuning with the new firmware,

I have just run some tests with 3.4RC2+2
After doing a fresh PID tune I can confirm that the initial overshoot I got with the later beta versions was greatly reduced and the over compensation and over heating when intermittent fan speed changes occurred was likewise not evident.
I got an initial drop in temperature when the fan activated, but over all it is more like what I would expect for my setup.
I was able to provoke a heater excursion fault be using slicer settings that moved fan speeds from 0 - 50% every few seconds, but in fairness I can't think of a real situation where such settings would be used.

@owend thanks for confirming this.

Whether you see an initial temperature rise or drop when the fan turns on depends on the hot end. With a Revo hot end I see a rise initially. I think this is because the thermistor is between the heater and the fan, so it's reading a value somewhere between the heater temperature and the nozzle temperature. With a Hemera hot end the thermistor is the opposite side of the nozzle to the heater, so it follows te nozzle temperature more accurately, and I see a temperature drop.

I'll mark this as solved.

it works, thanks!

Thanks @dc42, the version works as it should. The temperature fluctuations are history.

I agree too. RC2+2 also for me has way more stable temperatures.
