Connecting hotend cartridge to heatbed output | Custom UI
-
Hello @ all,
I have a DUET 3 Mini 5+ and need to use it to heat up a device.
I plan to use the E3D high-temp heatcartidge with 65 W and a PT1000 thermistor.Can I use the heatbed output "OUT_0" and "Temp 0" or are there any restrictions?
I woul like to use that output as they have screw connections and the wires of the cartridge are quite big and already have ferrules on them.As I only need to set and control the temp, is there any guidline on how to change the UI to customfit the display output?
Edit:
I use the PanelDue 7i.best wishes and thanks in advance.

@koreandi you can use the heat bed output, thats fine. same with temp0.
Once you adjust your config to use the right pins then you won't need to do anything to make the display show correctly -
I think I didn´t explained it right.
As I dont have any moving axis and wont use any files and printjobs...Can I reduce the display output to only show the temp-control and the actual temp.
Maybe use bigger fonts. -
@koreandi oh, i see what you mean.
you could have a go as its open source and it can be found here https://github.com/Duet3D/PanelDueFirmware
its mainly aimed at being built using eclipse although i believe it also supports building using CMake -

Great, thanks.
I will have a look at it.Regarding my first question.
The "OUT_0" and "Temp 0" can be used for any heatsystem (bed or hotend) as long as i hook it up correctly in the firmware? It is not reserved for just the heatbed? -
@koreandi thats correct. theres no restriction on what pin can be used for what other than what hardware its connected to (or if theres some underlying restriction itself in the MCU design on what each pin can do)
