@dc42 said in DUEX 0.11 FAN 5:
@paolozampini1973 so you are looking to turn a fan on when an external driver enable pin is activated, and off when it is deactivated.
I think you can do that in RRF 3.4.0 by pretending that the fan is a motor brake solenoid. Use the M569.7 command https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m5697-configure-motor-brake-port to associate that fan port with the motor.
the command 569.7 is not very clear how to use it there is a bit of confusion can you help me please I'll publish my config.g
config (33).g@dc42 Good evening can you help me please

Why not use a thermistor attached to the motor? Then you can also see what the motor temperature actually is to know if it's an issue or not. You're trying to make this the more complicated than necessary.

for the simple reason that I would have to make a structural change AND in any case it would not be 100% reliable it would be 96% reliable and also because I have to use the same rule for other things other functions

your solution is much cheaper but much more complicated and then I haven't solved all the problems. Anyway, thanks for your interest

the simplest solution is also to leave the fans on all the time

@paolozampini1973 I cannot find PIN17 in the list of official pin names. can you point me to wjhere that is and what it's name is in the documentation? I seem to be looking in the wrong place.

OK, I did read the documentation and I believe dc42 would like you to add the following to config.g instead of a normal fan definition for fan5. Assuming this is for motor number 7:
comment out the following lines from your config.g (lines 90 and 91):
M950 F5 C"duex.fan5" Q500 ; X create fan 1 on pin fan1 and set its frequency M106 P5 S1 H-1 ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on make it that they look like this
; M950 F5 C"duex.fan5" Q500 ; X create fan 1 on pin fan1 and set its frequency ; M106 P5 S1 H-1 ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on then, add the following line to your config.g (assuming driver 7):
M569.7 P0.7 C"duex.fan5"restart your machine, make a move that uses motor 7. if the fan turns on while the motor is active, this setting works. If the fan is on when the motor is inactive and turns off when motor 7 works, change the M569.7 like this:
M569.7 P0.7 C"!fan0"Note that this will always turn the fan on fully and that I have not tested this function myself.

so i should upgrade
The problem is that with my configuration I don't know what it means to me at What problems do I run into after what changes I have to makeam have RRF 3.3.0

my 3D printer now works very well however if I do the upgrade What are the changes I have to do next ?

@paolozampini1973 read the upgrade notes and make any required updates to your configuration: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.x#reprapfirmware-340
Other than adding macros for heater fault I did not change a single thing on my machine, but yours is different and may need adjusting.

Ok I will read And anyway I will make a complete backup of the memory in case I should have problems I can go back
-
@paolozampini1973 backups are always a good idea. I have my configurations under version control and stored on github for easy reference and to make sure that in the case of local catastrophe I have a copy available elsewhere.

I'll probably do this upgrade tomorrow as temperatures and speeds improve what your opinion is ?

I am running my printers very conservatively, so I do not go for maximum speed.

I believe that a printer once that makes 70 - 80 mm is more than enough important to have the accuracy is the quality

Ultimaker Cura Enterprise 4.10.0 I don't know if you've ever tried it but the prints are much higher quality and the processing takes about 20% less
-
@oliof I wanted to ask you but there is an algorithmic auto for temperatures because I don't like the one I have at all I would like that there would be an algorithmic auto that, based on the temperature that rises and falls, the rule automatically
-
I don't fully understand your request. Is this still about the fan to cool the stepper, or some other issue?
