No dc voltage to the hot end blocks

[ngwpower]

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware Version: 2.01beta2(RTOS) (2018-07-14b5)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21
Web Interface Version: 1.21.2-dc42

Had the Nozzle heater working last Friday, now I am not heating up. Put 12 V-DC to the Heater Cartridge and it heats up over 100 C. Put Voltmeter on the heater blocks with heater turned on and get 0 DC voltage (maybe don't know what voltage to be looking for?) both heat bed connectors with correct wiring. ![alt text]0_1534196930615_Heater error 8-13-18.jpg Termosistor is wired, yet is not responding to actual nozzle heat?
Remember reading on here were dc42 had suggested to move themosistor to another pinout? Did not mark for further reference!
Any suggestions?

[dc42]

Looks like you have a bad connection in the thermistor wiring, because it gave you the "thermistor is open circuit" error message and put heater 0 in the Fault state.

[ngwpower]

Thank You dc42, I did this for resistance at the blocks, themosistors are brand new and by applying forced air on the bulbs I get a temperatur rise.

Test with a S1141 car light bulb @18.4 watts used to load the:

1. Hot bed no light – M140 S60
2. E0 extruder no light – G10 POS215
3. E1 extruder no light. - G10 POS215
   Apparently I don't know why this is happening.

Your heated bed is working fine, check the first post where it is showing 61.2C.

You'll need valid thermistor readings before the board will let you heat the associated hotend. This is for safety reasons.

[ngwpower]

@elmoret Thank You not very savy with all this interlocking functions. Gratefull you gents have better understanding of the workings. Rather frustrated with this adventure, long gone is the fun of printing.

[dc42]

The key is the status shown in the Heater column. If it shows "Fault" then the firmware will refuse to operate the heater until the fault is reset by sending M562. Your original post shows the temperature of heater 0 (blue in the chart) going off scale, which will put heater 0 in the Fault state.

Have tried all suggestions and read this "Tuning the heater temperature control" I have a brand new out of the package thermistor and 12 V D heat core, they are wired directly to the appropriate blocks and still get Faults. I believe this board is one in a thousand fail. Here are some shots of what is going on. I removed the avaiation plug and used a connector strip to the Hot end assembly. Have contacted the retailer and they are watching this post for a clue of what is not working!

Can you post some clear, well lit photos of this, please? Now your screenshots aren't showing any temperatures at all, whereas previously they were showing correct temperatures. This leads me to believe the board is not to blame here, since the board hasn't changed (but the wiring has).

Your temperatures are reading 2000C. You won't be able to operate or tune the heaters until you fix that. The tuning error message is telling you that the temperature sensor is not connected.

BTW you appear to be using heater 0 for the extruder and heater 1 for the bed. That is the opposite way round from usual. Is there a reason why you chose that?

@elmoret I posted this earlier. " I have a brand new out of the package thermistor and 12 V DC heat core, they are wired directly to the appropriate blocks and still get Faults. Why is this not enough. I know you are attempting to help, just not sure about how!

[ngwpower]

@dc42 "you appear to be using heater 0 for the extruder and heater 1 for the bed." The instructions on RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool is rather confusing for me. Never been to college for this type of engineering. I just guessed at the choices.
I apparently checked the box for "Assign bed heater to first nozzle". Maybe why its like this.

Yes, that would explain it. I suggest you generate a new config.g file with that not checked.

[ngwpower]

@dc42 I have done it and loaded the Zip file. Applied and reconnected to the eb Control - still get a fault heater 1. Darn it. Not an engineer, could the blocks be a cold solder to the board? Have seen this with other boards that were bad.

[ngwpower]

Went to the RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool site and tried riprapfirmware. Still gettings faults in heater 1. Maybe I should return this part of just junk it. Not worth the time I have spent on it.

[Phaedrux]

Can you post your config.g? and can you describe how you have things wired?

Are you getting a sensible temperature reading on heater 1 now?

[ngwpower]

@dc42 No nothing has changed on heater faults, I hooked up the Keenovo pad with a module, seperated power source. It also is giving me Faults.

[ngwpower]

@phaedrux Have a hard time explaining things. I use pictures to guide myself in these situations. Removed the aircraft fitting from the E connections " Thermistor, fans, heater cartridge and placed them on a connector strip. P.S. the heat bed is going to default also.

Hi,

How about photo showing your thermistor connections?

[ngwpower]

Thank You
All for attempting to help. I have decided to send it back and let Filiastruder determine what if ant thing is wrong with this board. Contrary to the opinion on here the board is defective and time will tell if I am right or wrong.

[elmoret]

In case anyone stumbles across this in the future, update from Tim at Filastruder - we got the board back, tested thermistor channels and heater channels, all OK.

No surprise there.

Man enough to admit I don't know squatt about this process, thank you gents for baby sitting me.
