      What is the default heater pwm frequency for extruders? And is it possible to change it? I have heard that for Peltier chips, we should use a fast frequency PWM and I heard that typical heater PID PWM is too slow. Thank you.

        @jml in RRF 3.x, heater PWM is set by Q parameter in the M950 that defines the pin that controls the heater. See https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes/M950

        PWM frequency in Hz. Valid range: 0-65535, default: 500 for GpOut pins, 250 for fans and heaters

          Take a look here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m573-report-heater-pwm

          And you can set the frequency in the M950 that defines the heater.
