From Wiring Diag for the Duet 2 Wifi it is hard to tell which is Eo and Which is E1.
Here is a screen shot when the Thermistor is plugged into my guess of E1

My guess is that EO is closest to the Erase and Rest Buttons

E1 is closest to the edge of the board.
E0 is more to the center of the board beside E1.
Bed temp is on the edge of the board by the bed heater terminals.

My guess is that EO is closest to the Erase and Rest Buttons

No that's E1

M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" T113800 B4138 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtemp
M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0temp

Those settings seems off.
Most themistors on chinese silicone beds are B3950 T100000. Contact the seller for more information.

your hotend is also not correct. you need to find out which thermistor it is.

Pierre52

@ Phaedrux If that is the case, why do I get The Tool 0/Heater 1 reading the bed thermistor ambient (no hot end connected at this point) when I plug it into E0 (closer to center of board?
DWC Screen shot above shows that situation.

Pierre52

@Veti I will follow your advice and check with the seller. However, When I measure the Bed Thermistor resistance I get a reading of 113800 ohms.

My Hot End Thermistor is an E3D V6. I will check those settings as well. At the moment those are the results that the Rep Rap Config gave.

Thanks for your input.

Phaedrux

Can you post a photo showing the wiring at the board?

and your room and the bed is exactly at 25C?

E3D V6

if its a genuine e3d its T100000 B4725 C7.06e-8

@Phaedrux As requested, Red wires E0 - Bed Thermistor
Blue Wires - E3D Hot End Thermistor

If that's the case then your config is incorrect.

Why aren't you using the bedtemp inputs for the bed?

Pierre52

@Phaedrux Ah that has made a difference;

So the Bed Thermistor is reading correctly. I may have misled slightly on the Hot End Thermistor as it is actually one from a Beta test unit. I will be shortly fitting a Biqu H2 unit so will need to find the thermistor settings for that.

"Why aren't you using the bedtemp inputs ?" Very good question. Answer: Because I don't know what Gcode to use in Config G. If you could assist with that I would appreciate it.

I have also now unearthed the next minor issue in that the Bed heater is not responding. Possibly the clone DMWD SSR 40 DA I am using. I will work this through with my electronic guru mate who knows nothing about 3D printing but lots about electronics/

Phaedrux

The gcode you had before would work if you plugged the bed thermistor into the bed temp port of the board. Its right beside the power terminals for the bed.

Pierre52

@Phaedrux Aha the light finally comes on. Thanks for all your help on this.

Phaedrux

No problem. Glad you got it sorted out.
