Did I just fry my fan circuit - plugged 24V fan into the 5V always on
-
Its sorry to say, but I have a problem with my fans. I plugged my two E3D 24V fans into the always on 5V fan section (Like a fool).
After I turned it on and realised the mistake, I turned off and switched them to the PWM fan section but I cant get them to spin up. Unless the red wire on thoes fans arnt V+ then I think I might have blown the circuit.

while im on the topic of blow circuits. My mate plugged a thermistor into his 5V Always on. Since I might be having to repair my board, would I need to repair his while im at it?

What position is your Fan Vin jumper in as there are no dedicated 5V Fan headers they all run at the same Voltage which is set by that jumper
-
Plugging a 24V fan the right way round into a fan output that is set for 5V won't damage it. Plugging a 24V fan the wrong way round (i.e. red and black wires swapped) into a fan output may damage the fan, the fan driver mosfet, or both irrespective of whether the voltage was 5V or 24V.
Plugging a 100K thermistor into a 5V or even 24V output is unlikely to damage it.

Thats good to hear, he was getting worried.

It should be the same as when I got it as I havent changed any jumpers on the board other than the z steppers.

I think its time to see if I got the polarities right. can never be too sure when it comes to me
-
WELL, this is embarrising. When I went to check the cables for the fans, the polarities was correct. It only occured to me after putting them down that….they should probably be plugged in -_-
I do appologise for wasting peoples time.

I did just have to have a chuckle at that most people wouldn't have admitted to it lol
