cheers, much appreciated

i had already calculated e-steps but realise now I didn't change it in the config.g file, so should be a simple edit config.g, change m92 to the new value, and as i already have m501 at the end of my config.g file just save and reset and good to go for that tune at least?

@Phaedrux - Thanks again for your help with this, and everyone else, again, much appreciated! So I've swapped the heater block & heater cables, and no more errors! Cant be sure what it may have been as the entire hotend plate & all was new, upgraded from bowden rig to the sovol sv01 complete hotend as I had that laying around. So all resolved. If its not to much trouble, I'm assuming I need to change the feedrate now that I've changed my Chiron bowden setup to direct drive? How would i change and save it, thanks in advance

it must be something i missed, perhaps another bad connection, i think its due a full rewire to be totally sure, thanks again, good night

thanks for the guide, i think i did all of this but perhaps i missed something, i will try again after ive checked all the cables again, many thanks

i first sent m500 from the console in the web ui at the end of the pid tune, that saved, then did as i thought you said in the config.g, as above

no i did as you advised, when the pid tune completed, i went into system in the web ui, and put m501 at the end of the config.g file, saved, it asked to reset it to save the settings and i checked it afterwards and m501 was still in the config.g file, was that not the way to do it?

i did and it still did it, thanks anyway, the machine has found its way out the window so its all good now, thanks anyway

must have been the thermistor connector in the board, changed it and steady now for 20mins, doing the first test...

thanks, i will check that now, i only crimped that ruddy jst connector earlier and now that you mention it that seems the likely cause, many thanks

thanks, i guess you're right as i cant find any other fault i can see, so if the thermistor and heater terminals touch at the heater block that would also cause a short?

can i save the set up files and perhaps default the board? perhaps flash it or start again? or will that not change anything?

ok so its just done it again, temp spiked instantly up to 1600, then 1k, and lower but all within seconds, and now its almost cold...

I've got it heated to 200c now and for the last 15mins or so and it seems ok, but this is probably the 3rd or so time its had a hotend error since i made the changes earlier today

it happened when i was heating the hotend to 205c to do a test cube

reset the hotend even

sorry did you want me to rest the hotend and heat again first?

Yes got a sock on, and thanks for your assistance

oh my good lord i am losing my mind...I've done everything, seemed fine, heated up hotend to 200c to do a test cube, and "M501
Warning: Heater 1 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 612C.", and then "Error: Heating fault on heater 1, temperature excursion exceeded 15.0°C", and it cools down the hotend. I know the first is a warning which i could live with but it then goes into error! Sorry I know i seem like a noob and keep asking questions but i dont get it lol, cables seem fine and ive rechecked everything, do you think there may be another fault elsewhere or is it likely the cables?

awesome thanks, much appreciated
