Reading negative temperature and N/A temp

[johny]

Hello,
After wiring all (duet 2 wifi v1.04) i get the following temp reading:

what whould it be? i already changed the B value from the gcode, re-wire, it doesn't change.
Thank you

[Danal]

-273.1 is the "magic number" that indicates a totally open circuit on an input configured for a thermistor. So you have a broken wire, are plugged into the wrong input, or similar.

[johny]

@Danal Thank you for your help; even without anything plugged i get the "magic number", what should this indicate?
What about the n/a one?
Thank you

that your thermistor isn't properly connected when you think its connected.

That is exactly what it means: Open circuit; nothing plugged in.

Not sure about the N/A

What type of thermistors are you connecting and where are you connecting them?

Please also post your config.g file

Hello,
For the heat bed it is the standard thermistors from Chinese heat beds, for the hot end its the one: ATC Semitec 104GT-2/104NT-4-R025H42G (http://www.atcsemitec.co.uk/gt-2-glass-thermistors.html )

Apart from having 3 thermistors setup with only 2 heaters, nothing jumps out at me as being odd.
Could you take a photo of where you are connecting the thermistors?

[johny]

Regarding to where i am connecting them its according to the wiring, also it is printed in the board E0 temp and bed heater :

Edit: i tried to connect to the E1 thermistor as well to check if it works that's why it have 3 thermistors setup

@johny

Is the second image correct? that you are attaching the thermistor to the green terminals?

[johny]

no sorry! In that i plug the heater, the thermistor is bellow

[jay_s_uk]

I would set the values to the following

M305 P0 T10000 B3950 R4700               ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
M143 H0 S120                             ; set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C
M305 P1 T100000 B4725 C7.060000e-8 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1
M143 H1 S280                             ; set temperature limit for heater 1 to 280C

The P0 is a generic 3950 which is what tends to be used by chinese suppliers.
The P1 is correct for a 104GT

I would remove the P2 as this is probably confusing things.

If you're still getting no values, I would revisit your crimping

[johny]

I did those changes and i even solder a pair of wires directly to the bed thermistor to bypass any broken cable, the magic number is still there.
Probably is something burn in the board, what could it be?
Thank you

[jay_s_uk]

You could try remapping the bed thermistor to P2 and connecting to the e1 temp header and see if you get a reading

[johny]

I did it, no luck, still same error :S
I unplugged a thermistor from another printer to check it if was the thermistor and the same result.

(Don't think there is one)

Well i measure between the vssa and gnd and i got 3 ohms.
I just checked that my heat bed had a short between the +12v and gnd but i got no readings even before plugging it.

What version of the firmware does M115 report? Might be useful in troubleshooting.

FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.0

That's why you're not getting a reading, you need have to define the pin that it's using.

Yep, use that. In fact, looks like you're either modifying or creating a new config file based off of a RRF2x one. You might want to run through the web configurator and generate one for RRF3

[johny]

I used and got a different error!

Most likely your tool settings. Update these secttions.
