Yep - did a re-calibration from actual room temp and the values are back to fully stable.

Also, I removed the housing from the effector thermistor, looking for any issues, and the crimp was clean. The wire is pretty small so maybe a good crimp wasn't after 2 years of shaking. I went ahead and soldered it just in case, and I haven't had any temperature errors in about 5 hrs now. It's not proof that I've fixed the issue, but it's a good sign! About the only thing left as a possible source would be the thermistor wiring atop the effector that connects to the Duet.

Here's another possibility. The 12V/24V jumper is in series with the LEDs and bypasses a resistor on the PCB. So if you can remove that resistor then you can connect a switch to the 12/24V jumper pins, with a resistor of around 600 ohms in series with the switch if you are using 24V.

There are 3 mounting holes on the effector, so you could attach a printed part to mount your switch on. If you use those holes, use nylon washers under any metal screw heads or nuts, to avoid damaging the strain gauge traces.
