Thermocouple issue with Duet3 6HC-3HC

steevebecker

Yes, I read 2000°C in DWC:

Tried that :
M308 S1 P"spi.cs0" A"TC0" Y"thermocouple-max31856" K"k"
It works!

I installed the thermocouple card on the EXP3HC (with the thermocouples wired) and ran a :
M308 S1 P"1.spi.cs0" A"TC0" Y"thermocouple-max31856" K"k"

I get that :

M308 S1 :
Sensor 1 type Thermocouple (MAX31856) using pin 1.spi.cs0, last error: sensor short to other wiring, thermocouple type K, reject 50Hz

Strange, it is the same TC board and same wiring...

steevebecker

How... Sorry...
I thought that the limitation of the thermocouple that must be on the same card as the heater was fixed in version 3.0RC1

It seems not.
It works with Thermistor but not with TC.

If I setup the TC on 6HC and the heater on 6HC too, it works, DWC show the temperature.

steevebecker

Do you have any idea when this is going to be implemented?
(just to know if I'll have to change the TCs by Thermistors to do my tests at the beginning of the year)

For safety reasons, I recommend that temperature sensors are connected to the same board as the heater. Currently, I believe a heater on the main board using a sensor on an expansion board works, but not the other way round.

I'm sorry, I misspoke. Actually, I want to use 2 heaters and 2 thermocouples with the EXP3HC card.
Do you think it should work?

@steevebecker yes, if you have a prototype 3HC though most of them did not have the modification to make to temperature daughter boards work.

Give no error but read 2000°C.

M308 S1
Sensor 1 type Thermocouple (MAX31856) using pin 1.spi.cs0, last error: sensor short to other wiring, thermocouple type K, reject 50Hz

Yes, it is a prototype... bought in October.
Can I made the modification myself ?

Yes, here are the details.

Duet3Expansion1-v09-SPI-mod.odt .

It works fine, thank you...

The last thing is the Z Probe connected to the expansion board.
Do you have an idea when it will be supported ?

What type of Z probe is it?

steevebecker

It is a ZProbe we made ourself.
An electromagnet takes out a rod, on this rod is fixed a blade which hides or not a standard optical endstop.
