Configuring temp sensors
-
I am having issue's configuring the temperature sensors on RRF3. It a IDEX with two Slice thermistor's and a Keenovo silicone heater with a NTC Thermistor.
I used the temp table for the bed thermistor at 15, 60, and 120 degrees in the RR config but its reading -275 degrees currently.
I used the Slice preset for the hotend thermistors, they read 15 and 120 degress. It should be more like 30 degrees.
Can you see any issues with my configuration.

Working config with D3 and Pi, hot ends are E3D V6, whatever thermistor they send:

@3DPrintingWorld said in Configuring temp sensors:
M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" T101 B4160 C2.724175e-7 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtemp
I think you mean T101000 in that command.
It's very hard to get accurate readings at low temperatures from high resistance thermistors such as the Slice. The one reading 15C at 30C I would say is within tolerance. You could use the M308 H parameter to adjust it. The one reading 120C probably has some moisture bridging the wires, or leakage between one of the wires and ground.

@dc42 In regards to the bed, I double checked the numbers but the configurator still spits out a "T101"
Not that I need accurate readings at this low temp but I do get them with this thermistor at ambit temps on my Marlin printer. I also have a spare thermistor and I swapped it out and it still reads the same 120 degrees.

I strongly suspect that the resistance table you are using is in Kohms, not ohms. So you should enter e.g. 157600 not 157.6.

@dc42 Your right, thats what the 100k must of mean on the top of the chart. Now its reading within range.
Also when I tried my spare trasducer, I swapped the wrong one.... I swapped the correct one and now all three are readying between 16-20c! -
Actually it was not the thermistor but the cable...
