RESOLVED. WAS: thermistor bug in 3.2beta 2 on Duet Maestro
-
I fear this is a major hazard, so sorry @dc42 for directly pinging you here.
So, I updated my Voron to 3.2 beta 2 in order to be able to use the Mini12864 which works beautifully. However, when trying to print I started getting issues getting heater faults which I assumed to be related to me changing the heater cartridge, so I did a PID tune.
Turns out: no, it must be firmware related. After the tune, trying to heat up to 260°C for printing ASA I started to see massive smoke development within the chamber and turned it off. I assumed that my thermistor is faulty, so I changed it out, but that did not help either.
I now decided to try to debug it further:
The temperature is very quickly going up. I turned the heater off and you can see 229°C on the display while my multimeter reads 276°C.
For reference: my thermistor configuration:
;HotEnd M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" B4700 C7.060000e-8 A"Hotend" ; configure sensor 1 as thermistorI am aware that the Maestro has a 2k2 on board resistor instead of a 4k7 one on the pcb, so my assumption was that maybe the default was for whatever reason changed. However, when trying
;HotEnd M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" B4700 C7.060000e-8 A"Hotend" R2200 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistorI see the same behavior.
Downgrading to 3.1.1 returned the behavior back to normal, so I assume the issue is firmware related.
If anyone is curious: this is how it looks like when you try to print ASA on PEI at way above 300°C...

Can you post your full heater configuration block?

Sure, here you go.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M140_Set_Bed_Temperature_Fast_or_Configure_Bed_HeaterAre you sure you're using the right pins for the chamber heater? Also bear in mind that the M308 commands must come before the M950 commands that create the heater.
Here's the heater block I get from the configurator using your values. At the very least you should try to emulate the command ordering layout to make sure something isn't out of order.

There is no chamber heater, just the sensor, the chamber is passively heated by the bed. Note that the corresponding M950 is commented out.

Are you sure the new heater cartridge matches your PSU voltage? 12v cartridge on 24v power?
What were the heater faults you experienced? Error messages?
Can you post the results of M122 and M98 P"config.g" and your full config.g?
-
The cartridge is not the issue, original e3d 40W 24V. Remember, the issues disappeared with the downgrade to RRF 3.1.1.
I attached the config.

The errors were too slow a heatup. I have to put the board back to 3.2 beta 2 for the commands first, give me a moment.
-
Too slow to heat would indicate PID tuning hasn't been applied.
-
Ok, now I see the same issue also on RRF 3.1.1
The thermistor readout becomes strange at around 200°C, until then it is fine and follows what my multimeter reads. Above 200 it saturated while the multimeter sees temperatures up to 280 where I then pulled the plug.
However, there is a chance that the high temperatures damaged my thermistors here.
-
The graph definitely looks odd.
The multimeter temp probe can be drawing heat away from it. How does the temp graph look when left alone?
Do you have any spurious M307 commands left over from before that could be feeding it incorrect PID values?
This is the only report of something like this happening so I'm doubtful that it's related to 3.2 beta 2. Correlation != causation situation.
When in doubt I like to use a default config from the config tool as a sanity check to eliminate any config errors. So if you could do some tests with a stock config from the tool on 3.1.1 to see if the behaviour remains that would be helpful. then we know it's hardware.
-
And now it’s working again, within 3°C of my multimeter, only change was B3950 in the thermistor definition. But I still get some funky business for a moment during heatup.
Some hardware fault? Noise?

Definitely possible.

Sure, but that was the biggest change in the recent days. Besides a) installing the display and b) adding a front switch for 230V. The latter could in theory increase the 50Hz noise, but I think the cable is not close to the thermistor.

I will try tomorrow, even so I doubt it - used this config for like 4 months without problems. Have two more unused thermistors here and an other Maestro, so I have some more debugging options...
-
Well if there's still off thermistor behaviour happening with 3.1.1 then I think we can rule out 3.2 beta2.
If there were other wiring changes around the same time...
-
I have the habit of always taking a picture when changing things, nothing of the changes is close to the thermistor cable.
-
I meant from changing the heater cartridge. Could there have been some damage to the thermistor wiring?
-
Unlikely, I swapped the whole hotend and I have seen the issues with both now. Also, the Molex MicroFit connectors are very reliable. And in the drag chain I have Heluflon Teflon coated cable which is well suited for this application... - will anyway replace the drag chain cable tomorrow and twist the thermistor wire.
-
Sorry for the confusion, it seems I might have had a wiring or crimp issue which by chance developed in parallel to playing with the beta. Having it seamingly disappear while downgrading did not help either...
I will replace all my hotend thermistors with PT1000, a wire fault resulting in to low a temperature reading is to dangerous in my opinion, so the upgraded sensors will give me some peace of mind.
