Fan 2 (P2) percentage on Dashboard

[Hornetrider]

Hey,

does anybody know how I can get to see the % Setting of FAN 2 on the Dashboard or Current Job-Status overview?

Thx

If i remember correctly (someone can correct me if i am wrong ), then fans with thermostatic contol doesnt show up in DWC. So if you want to see fan control and status you should disable thermostatic control (with H-1 parameter in M106 command).

That's correct. Thermostatic controlled fans are controlled by the temperature of the configured heater. Allowing it to be overridden by the slider could be detrimental. (turning off the hotend fan during a print for example.)

Hey,

thx for the tips.

I found in the DWC instructions also an additional information.
Not named Fans/Heaters won't display either.
By using M305 a name can be assigned...will have to try that one.

In this case it is just for information, to see if my board cooling fan is turned on or not...

Have a nice Sunday.

Fans can be named too (sere the M106 link above), but I don't know whether named fans are displayed in DWC2 when they are thermostatically controlled.
