Like many who have posted about bed PID tuning taking too long, is there an acceptable solution? I just re-installed a warranty replacement Mini5 and ran M303 for the hotend and the bed. The hotend ran fine but the bed took 15 minutes to get thru the 3rd stage and then the 4th stage ran for 45 minutes without ever finishing. What is the solution? I've had this board since March and haven't started a print yet.

@norwestie But again, can't upload to card and I followed the instructions for formattting a new 16GB card

@dc42 said in Autotune failed:

M307 H1 R2.813 C106.4 D7.0

The H1 substitution worked! Thank you. Onward to my next error ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@phaedrux The graph was an even zigzag until the end of the 5th phase. Firmware is 3.3. Power supply is Meanwell 350 watt 12v. I think the wattage is 40w

I ran M303 T0 S205 and got this result:
5/30/2021, 12:58:36 PM Warning: Auto tune of heater 1 failed due to bad curve fit (R=2.813, 1/C=0.0094:0.0094, D=7.0)

This is the heater setup in config.g:

M307 H0 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for the bed heater and set PWM limit
M140 H0 ; map heated bed to heater 0
M143 H0 S120 ; set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C
M308 S1 P"temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin temp1
M950 H1 C"out1" T1 ; create nozzle heater output on out1 and map it to sensor 1
M307 H1 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for heater and set PWM limit
M143 H1 S280 ; set temperature limit for heater 1 to 280C

@phaedrux I shut off the printer/board and powered back up the next day and it is connected again and looking normal. No change in SD card, just power-cycling

@phaedrux I have had more problems with this board than anything I can think of. Granted, some are of my own doing but this is a ridiculous way to file a warranty claim, through a public forum. I'm ready to pull it out and go back to the stock Anycubic board. At least it worked.

@phaedrux
Formatted in Win10 Fat32

Due to my config.g file disappearing (not blank but gone), I formatted a new 32GB card, copied the files and did a bed level. Then I attempted a print. The upload showed 97% complete then the errors shown below:

5/28/2021, 2:39:48 PM Error: Failed to write to file, error code 1. Card may be full.

@phaedrux In my sig, Mini 5+ Ethernet

@phaedrux said in config.g disappears:

M552 S1

Yes, it did! I'll see if it works powered through VIN.

It does not work. I did:
Send M552 S0 to disable networking, then M552 S1 P0.0.0.0 to enable networking and have your router assign an IP address and it reported back good.

Connecting to DWC again with Mac and looking at System, there still is no config.g and I had copied it there an hour ago.
Again, reloaded config.g and it appears to be working, for now.

@phaedrux I connected my MacBook Pro to the board, the two LEDs next to the USB, the red and green are illuminated, also the red blinking one near the corner is on. And I can connect with SerialTools. But no LEDs on the ethernet port.

@phaedrux I tried copying just the config.g from my computer to the SD card, which does show all the other files. When I still couldn't get the ethernet to work, I formatted a new card and copied all files from computer to new card. Still nothing. Then I connected board to my Mac via USB but it did not power nor show up in SerialTools. With external power, the 4 LEDs light up, the blinking red one as well but not the ethernet LEDs.

@droftarts No macros. I haven't even started a print yet!

My SD card is missing the file, although there is a config.txt. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I'm attempting to get my Kossel set up and the DWC can't connect to the board after working fine for weeks. The 1st time, I connected via USB and found it working and someone suggested copying my config.g from my computer to the SD card. That worked for a while. It happened again and I repeated the process but now I have no ethernet connectivity. All other LEDs are on. I tried copying the entire RRF file to a new SD card but that didn't help. Do I have a faulty board?

@phaedrux That is my problem (at least one of them). It is plugged into io3.out but the config says temp2. I must have selected something wrong in the RRF tool.
I changed the M558 line and saved then issued a G30 but the carriage doesn't drop. I can manually command it down with DWC. Where should I look for that fix?

@phaedrux
"Are you really wanting to use temp2 pin? Why not the zprobe.in pin?"
I scoured the wiring diagram many times but don't see probe.in. I found it on the Maestro but where is it on the Mini 5+?
I added the ! and changed the probe type but a G30 command does not move the carriage and the message is Z probe not triggered

@phaedrux

It is a 2 wire connection and feels like a microswitch

@norwestie I chose type 5 but I get Z probe already triggered. It is wired to io3.out on out+gnd (tried in+gnd also). This is how it is set up in config.g: M558 P5 C"^temp2" H5 F120 T6000

I have an Anycubic Kossel LP w/Mini 5+ with the stock Z probe. RRF guide lists 10 different types of probes. Which is the Kossel's?
