Thermister problems: Duet Wifi Board v1.0
-
@t3p3tony Hi. I assume you are referring to the config settings for the thermistors. If not please let me know what to do to get the info for you. Really appreciate your assist on this.

M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4092 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtemp .... M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0tempThose look right. Please add the following line:
M308 S2 P"e1temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0tempA new sensor should appear in the "extras" tab on DWC. Now try plugging each of the bed and e1 thermistors in there to see what readings you get.
Also try shorting (using a jumper) across the bedtemp and e0 temp inputs to see if the reading changes from -273 to 2000.

Ok.... that brought all three thermisters up on the interface. I shorted each one out and there was no change to the readings. Held constant at -273.1 deg. Looks like a component failure??? Is this repairable? Board is way out of warranty.

@wurth51 if they all read -273 then it sounds like the VSSA fuse has failed. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connector_and_spare_part_numbers#Section_VSSA_fuse

Thank you very much for responding to this post. It was in fact the fuse (took me awhile to find it). Did a quick bypass on the fuse and all the thermistors immediately started reading normal. I will with the article you provided to put a permanent solution in place.
Not sure how to mark this thread as "closed/solved"!

A big thanks to T3P3Tony for their assistance in getting me past the software being the problem and to dc42 for pointing me to the hardware solution.
It's a great day to be a Duet user.

@wurth51 worth considering how the VSSA fuse was blown. It is a PTC fuse that should reset itself after time when it triggers so if it failed it may have been exposed, or repeatedly exposed, to a high enough current to cause it to fail. Its there to protect the VSSA input on the temperature headers from a high voltage which is sometimes caused when the hotend (or bed) heater wiring shorts to a temperature wiring. Worth checking your wiring! from your first post It sounds like you might have an issue with using a 12V heater at 24V as well which is not recommended.

@t3p3tony he has a v1.0 board so the fuse isn't a PTC self-resetting one. Nevertheless, there must have been a short or transient of some sort to cause it to blow.

Got the little resettable fuse and 10k resistor installed. Board is now working fine.
The article you referred me to indicated that the firmware would respond to a "short" based on the installation of the 10k resistor. Can you elaborate on what I would expect to see should the fuse blow?
Thanks

@wurth51 if you get a short between Vssa and a higher voltage then you should get a message on the DWC console warning you of the short.
