Hot End Temps Fluctuating
-
Can I increase the S value in M307 after the PID has been done? I ask b/c even running the PID tune with a PWM value of one, it goes back to .6
I am wondering if this is part of the issue?
-
If the maximum PWM goes back to 0.6 then you must have another M307 command somewhere that is overriding the one from auto tuning. Are you copying the new M307 values into config.g after auto tuning, or are you running M500 to save them? If you are running M500, do you have a M501 command near the end of config.g to invoke config-override,g?
-
Yes, I have M307 in my config-override, and M501 at the end of my config.g.
I am saving the M303 results via M500.

Your config-override.g has S0.6 in the M307 command for heater 1. So you had a PWM limit of 0.6 last time you saved the parameters with M500.
-
I understand that, but maybe I'm confused. Is the PWM limit also adjusted by the Autotuning results?
I just ran: M303 H1 S200 P1.00 and Here are the results:
M307 H1
Heater 1 model: gain 277.6, time constant 192.4, dead time 4.0, max PWM 0.70, mode: PID
Computed PID parameters for setpoint change: P30.6, I0.159, D86.6
Computed PID parameters for load change: P30.6, I2.521, D86.6That PWM of 0.70 is what was in my config-override before I started the autotune.
-
Thanks, looks like I need to update the firmware to carry the P factor from M303 over to the M307 parameters.
EDIT: I just checked the code. When tuning it uses the lower of the existing max PWM and the value you specified in the M303 command. I'll change that. For now, send M307 H1 S1 before you run M303.

Thanks David,
I will give that a try before the next autotune. It is running a print right now. Do you think that could be part of my fluctuating temps? Its kinda what I am thinking, and is the path I'm following for now.
Thanks again!
-
I'm marking this as solved, as I believe that was the issue David. Thanks!
