@deckingman No problem. It's so difficult to tell online sometimes, especially the way some people are in forums. I didn't mean to jump to conclusions.

RE: Control dual heaters of the same heatbed.
@deckingman My apologies for wasting your time.
@dc42 Thank you for the support. I'm seriously considering ordering one of these now once I've finished figuring out what all I need.

RE: Control dual heaters of the same heatbed.
@dc42 That's great! Thanks for the reply! Is this reflected on a display somehow? Meaning can I see the temperatures of all four heaters? Also, do you know any printer using this today?

RE: Control dual heaters of the same heatbed.
@brunofporto said in Control dual heaters of the same heatbed.:
Another situation would be a huge area printer with a segmented heated bed - where I can head only 1/4 of it, for example, when using "area 1" and the firmware would know that - that I have four heaters at the same printer and a series of possible combinations of them (1/4, 1/2, full bed)
I'm actually building a printer now that will have a zoned heatbed and while I'm building it initially with Arduino/Marlin electronics, I was thinking of switching to Duet3D as an upgrade. I was going to work on the Marlin code to do this in software and expand G-code to support it. Has there been any work on this for RepRap? I could also write similar code once I switched over.
