Trouble with adding an extra heat bed
-
I have added an extra heat bed (i.e. I have two heat beds) for the large print bed I have. One of them is connected with the heat bed power supply and the other one is actually a larger heater which requires an external power supply (and also a SSR). The heat bed is plugged into E1 Heater.
The issue I am experiencing right now is that when I tried to switch the bed to active, the temperature increases uncontrollably and the only way I can stop it is by shutting down the whole machine by unplugging.

You can't use M301 to force bang-bang mode any more. Use M307 to do that instead.
Instead of configuring your bed heaters as 1 bed + 1 chamber heater, in RRF 1.20 and later you can configure them as 2 bed heaters:
M140 H0:2

Thanks dc42, so does that mean I should replace the line:
"M141 H2" with "M140 H0:2"
-
Yes, that should do it. Then you need to use the P parameter in M140/M190 commands to specify which bed heater you are referring to, 0 (default) or 1.
-
Do you mind walking me through how to use the P parameter to specify the heaters?
After I made the change to the M140 and also M307, the only difference I saw was that the 3rd tool has been removed from the browser and I am only left with the Extruder and heat bed.
