Compressor via thermostatic fan (3HC) not working after upgrade
-
Dear Duet community
I've been running a cooling compressor to cool our printchamber (Chocolat Printer as university research project) for a half a year without any troubles with the below attached config.g. We're using a Duet 3 with extension board 3HC and a SBC attached. The complicated solution via a thermostatic controlled fan output was neccessary at that time due to the need for hysteresis. If a cooling compressor gets turned on and off all the time it cut's down seriously on its lifetime. Now after a firmwareupgrade from 3.01RC12 to 3.2 the compressor is not working anymore. I would appreciate if anyone could get some inputs where that problem could come from or if I missed an entry in the changelogs. I searched allready a few hours but couldn't find the problem till now. Hardware shouldn't be an issue, all wiring doublechecked. I have two identical printers, one with 3.01 RC12 and one with 3.2.
Thanks for any hints!

Have you tried running M98 P"config.g" to check for failing commands in config.g?

Hi dc
Thanks for your input. It reported some CAN Bus errors. I set the CAN adress of the extension board to 0000 and then I guess it pulled the new firmware. After restarting the errors where gone. I thought that shouldn't be an issue, because the steppers and endstop inputs where working propperly on that board.
Thanks for your fast reply!

Can you confirm with M122 and M122 B1 that the update to 3.2 has been applied to all boards?
I assume you updated through the SBC with the usual sudo apt update, etc?

Hi Phaedrux
Sorry for the late reply. Covid restrictions ^^
Yes I can confirm that both are running now on 3.2 without any errors. I had to change the Duet3 board after upgrading due to the diode manufacturing problem and probabbly while upgrading the new board something got mixed up. You can mark the thread as solved.
Thanks for your support!
