Thermocouple configure in RR3

spett

My bed heater use a K type thermocouple that worked fine in RR2 but now I can't figure out what the port names to use for thermocouple input in RepRap 3 beta firmware, I'm using a Duet 2 Ethernet controller and my RR2 config was:
M305 P0 X150 T"k"

So you'll need to change the M305 command to something like:

M307 H0 A___ C___ D____ V____ B0 ; change the values after running a PID autotune

M308 S0 P"spi.cs1" Y"thermocouple-max31856" K"c" ; Configure the bed temp sensor. This is the equivalent to your old one, assuming you're using the daughterboard on the duet and not on an expansion board.

M143 H0 S120 ; limit the bed temp
..
..
M950 H0 C"bedheat" T0 ; define the bed heater and bind the sensor we configured above to it.

The M950 have to come after the sensor is first configured.

Correct except that for a K-type thermocouple it should end with K"k" not K"c". Also the M307 command should come after the M950 command.

Thank you! That was the P value I was looking for

Good to know about the PID coming after! I'll change that in my config. What are the ramifications of it coming elsewhere?

I would need to check; but on Duet 3 I think it would not be actioned because the heater doesn't exist yet, and if using an attached RPi then an error message would be produced. Duet 2 has default heaters so it would probably work.
