V_in on graph ?

pipersw

Hi

There is a way for showing V_in on graph ?
This allow to monitoring voltage drop.

It is possible with some gcode ?

@dc42 if I use thermistor3 (pin 35) with a voltage divider :

V_IN |---- |47K|---|thermistor3 pin|----|4K7|-----|GND

with M305 P104 S"V_IN" X3 it should work ?

edit : I have 2.6v on ADC with V_IN 24V, so I need to tune the two resistors in order to have a 1/10 ratio between V_IN and ADC input voltage.

How do a x10 value on DWC graph for this channel ?

Nice approach to a solution
You need to use the thermistor (or thermocouple?) temperature tuning model to give you (say) 250C == 25V, this would give a sensible reading in the graph. I'm not sure you can have the graph display Volts without changing DWC etc. But having a 'temp/10 = my voltage' graph might work for you.

Next point, Your resistors are probably fine. You need to divide Vin by eleven to get the thermistor3 voltage, not ten. I made the same mistake initially monitoring a boat battery from a ATTiny here. Don't forget that the 4K7 resistor is part of the divider too, so the overall resistance is 51K7 (eg 4K7+47K).
You can do a fine-tune on the M305 settings to correct for this.

@EasyTarget The thermistor is a NTC, so the resistance value fall if temperature rise, so the adc voltage fall.
Here if V_IN rise the adc voltage rise too, it's the opposite behavior of a thermistor.

V_IN |---- |33K|---|thermistor3 pin|----|5k|-----|GND

with M305 P104 S"V_IN" X3 R33000 T5000

@pipersw Yep, this is true. I hadn't checked the M305 section and kinda assumed it had some sort of linear voltage based temp sensor support amongst it's many options. My bad, a quick glance over that says (to me, at least) that this is a no-go. Pity.

Try using the "Linear analog sensor" type instead of thermistor.

Linear analog sensor

Thanks !
So I have to upgrade my Duet2Wifi to RepRapFirmware 3 in order to have this functionnality.

That should already be working by adding the unit in square brackets at the end of the sensor name

M308 S5 ... A"V_IN[V]"
