Commissioning Fans

SonnyD1

I am modifying another Lulzbot Workhorse. I've changed the toolhead to a Hemera XS with a BLTouch and a standard 5015 blower for a part cooling fan. All are connected to a Duet 3 Toolboard running from a Duet 3 Mini 5 with Paneldue. I started going through the commissioning steps and got hung pretty early. My fans do not seem to be functioning properly. My part cooling fan runs all the time which is contrary to the M106 P1 C"Part Cooling Fan" S0 B0.1 H1 T45" line in my config. Also I cant get my heat sink fan to run at all. I have confirmed that the location accurately coincides with the config. I considered skipping the fans step for now but I prefer to commission in sequence. I'd hoped that this may be an easy solve as something some of you may have seen before. Toolboards are new to me so I'm a bit out of my comfort zone with it. Below is my config as well as pictures of the toolhead. I can provide any further pics or info you may need. TYIA for your help.

@SonnyD1 Send M122 and M122 B121 in the DWC console, which will report the diagnostics for each board. My best guess is that the firmware versions for your mainboard and your toolboard don't match; they should, or various things don't work correctly.

To update firmware, see https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware

@droftarts
Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look like thats the issue. I updated both of them when I originally set them up. I will say that the symptoms are what you are describing. My DWC is acting weird as well. My heaters seem to be linked somehow (see attached photo). I don't know if the issues are related but I've never had this issue running without a toolboard. When I activate one heater, the other switches with it. Prevents me from moving forward in the commissioning process.

All LED indicators are functioning IAW the instructions with two solid and one blinking in sync with the MB. Same with the MB.

Are the pins under the Fans section of the config being called out correctly?

M563 P0 S"Tool 0" D0 H0 F0

I think it's the tool assignments for heater and fan that are the problem. H0 is the bed! You want H1. F0 is the heatsink fan, you want the part cooling fan, F1. So it should be:

M563 P0 S"Tool 0" D0 H1 F1

You also have both fans set to thermostatic control, when the part cooling fan should be normally controlled:

; Fans
M950 F0 C"121.out2" ; create fan #0
M106 P0 C"Heatsink Fan" S0 B0.1 H1 T45 ; configure fan #0
M950 F1 C"121.out1" ; create fan #1
M106 P1 C"Part Cooling Fan" S0 B0.1 H1 T45 ; configure fan #1

Change the last M106 to:

M106 P1 C"Part Cooling Fan" S0 B0.1                   ; configure fan #1

5015 blower fans can be a little temperamental to get running with PWM. Check it runs at 100%. You may need to change the PWM frequency (M950 Q parameter) and/or add L and X parameters to M106.

@SonnyD1 said in Commissioning Fans:

My part cooling fan runs all the time

That's because you've wired it between ground and V_in (on a +VOUT pin). At least, that's what the photo looks like. The 'top' pin (nearest the edge with the power in) is permanently gnd and the next pin down is permanently +V (switchable what +V by the jumper). A two-wire fan should be connected between +VOUT and out1 on the OUT1 connector.

Your fan on OUT2 looks like it is wired correctly - between +V and out

achrn

@SonnyD1 Also I've just noticed your M140 is late. https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#order-dependency-4 says "In RRF3 a M140 command with H parameter (other than H-1) must come after the M950 command that creates that heater, and before any M143 command that sets a temperature limit for that heater." Yours is after teh relevant M143

SonnyD1

@achrn Ok Thank you. I made those changes. The configuration tool made that error so I didn't even think to check the M140 location. The wiring issue was just my ignorance. Still following up on the other changes. I'll let ya know how it goes. Thank you for the help!

@droftarts @achrn Between the two of you, its working properly now. This is my first time using the new config tool. I don't remember the old one making these kinds of mistakes so I didn't think to check. There is an always on fan on my board that isn't functioning that I'm sure I can figure out on my own. I appreciate your help and patience during this process. Hopefully, I can get through the rest of the commissioning process on my own. TYVM!
