Heater 1 displays wrong temperture
-
I have just installed my new Duet wifi board on my Ender 3. Everything works how it should (all axes homing correct....)exept one strange thing. I have not turned on the heated bed or the nozzle jet. The Current temperture for the bed displays 19.8deg. Celcius, but the Heater 1 displays a current temperture of 107.9deg Celsius. This can not be correct since it has not been turned on and also it feels cold to the touch. Does anybody know what can be wrong here and how to fix this?

@svdeene Need more information https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5909/guide-for-posting-requests-for-help
At the minimum, we need to know what settings you are using so please post your config.g file. We also need to know what type of temperature sensor you are using (thermistor, PT100, PT1000, thermocouple), how it's connected and if possible a data sheet.

I use the stock temperature sensor from the Ender 3 (I think it is a PT100) it is connectod to the E0 VSSA thermistor1 (just left of the E1 endstop on the wifi board)

Your config.g settings look reasonable for 100k thermistors on both the bed and hot end. The sensor can't be a PT100 because that would give a reading of about 320C with those settings. I think either it's a 5K thermistor (which would be very unusual), or something is wrong.
First, I suggest that you temporarily swap the bed and E0 thermistor connections over on the Duet. If the bed now reads 108C and the hot end reads room temperature, that confirms that the Duet temperature sense channels are working. Assuming that's the case, the most likely cause of the temperature reading being high is that there is a short between the thermistor wiring and the hot end metalwork.
If you have a multimeter, try unplugging the hot end thermistor from the Duet and measuring its resistance.

Thank you verry much for the quick reply. The problem is solved. I got an other thermister from a frend, wired it in and now the readings of both thermistors are room temperture. I probably could have solved the issue with a little more patience without posting it here, so I am sorry for waisting your time. Thanks again for the quick response!

No problem!
