Chamber Heater Gcode Help needed
-
Hi,
I would appreciate any help with setting my chamber heater. I am using a Hair dryer that is hooked on external relay.
I can't PWM it. What I would basically like is: no quick turning off/on. It should run at least 4 seconds before turning off. Alternatively - when desired temperature is reached it turns off and then turns back on when temperature drops for like 1C.
What would be the best or easiest way to do that? Are there any parameters I can use in M307 to be able to do this?
Can I control it somehow through fan ports?
I also heared something about using Daemon.g for this.This is the basic structure I have atm:
M308 S2 P"e1temp" Y"thermistor" A"Enclosure" T100000 B4138 ; M950 H2 C"fan2" T2; M307 H2 B1 S1.00 ; M141 H2; M143 H2 S65;
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think bang-bang should mostly do what you want, which it looks like you've already set. How does it behave currently?
You could try adding a Q parameter to the M950 command to slow down the cycling. Try Q1 for 1hz

@phaedrux You are correct, thank you very much.
I thought Q wouldn't work well but it does the job. Thanks again sir! -
There may be more creative ways to do what you want using conditional gcode and daemon.g as you said, but if the simple method works for you, that's great.
