Tool Fan selector in Duet Web Control

[appjaws]

I am using Duet Web Control 2.0.7 but can't find the "Change visibility" link
Where is it?

Thanks for your reply @dc42,
This is the Dashboard screen, as you can see it lists the "TOOL FAN" and " FAN0" buttons.
They both do the same thing but I can't remove either of them and still have a working fan

This is the Status screen with the "TOOL FAN" not selected and the "FAN0" selected

One for @chrishamm I think.

@dc42 Hi...

I have the same issue... "TOOL FAN" controls just X1 Part Cooling. Useless...

Is there already a solution?

; Fans
M950 F0 C"fan0" Q20000												; Define Fan0 for T0 Part Cooling
M106 P0 S0 H-1 C"X1 Part Cooling"									; Set Fan0 to default off, manual control
M950 F1 C"fan1"														; Define Fan1 for T0 Hotend cooling
M106 P1 S1 H1 T45 C"Hotend1"											; Set Fan1 to Thermostatic control, max RPM at 45C
M950 F2 C"duex.fan3" Q20000												; Define Fan0 for T0 Part Cooling
M106 P2 S0 H-1 C"X2 Part Cooling"									; Set Fan0 to default off, manual control
M950 F3 C"duex.fan4"														; Define Fan1 for T0 Hotend cooling
M106 P3 S1 H1 T45 C"Hotend2"											; Set Fan1 to Thermostatic control, max RPM at 45C

@toddel Can you post your tool definition section of the config as well?

Also, 3.2 final is now available. https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.2

I can confirm this. It becomes visible (TOOL FAN) at the Dashboard when you switch the heater to active.

; Tools
M563 P0 S"Extruder" D0 H1 F0:1               ; define tool 0
G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0                              ; set tool 0 axis offsets
G10 P0 R0 S0                                 ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C

; Fans
M950 F0 C"out9" Q200                         ; create fan 0 (print cooling fan) on pin out9 and set its frequency
M106 P0 C"Part Cooling" S0 H-1               ; set fan 0 custom name and value. Thermostatic control (H-1) is turned off

M950 F1 C"out7" Q500                         ; create fan 1 (hot end fan) on pin out7 and set its frequency
M106 P1 S1.0 H1 T45         		     ; set fan 1 name and value. Thermostatic control (H1) is turned on

@Nellor What exactly are you confirming?

The Tool Fan slider will control the fan of the currently selected tool. You only have one tool defined, so Tool fan will control the fan called "Part Cooling".

M563 P0 S"Extruder" D0 H1 F0:1 ; define tool 0

That should be F0 and not F0:1 since your fan1 is thermostatically controlled.

[Nellor]

M563 P0 S"Extruder" D0 H1 F0:1 ; define tool 0

Ok, thanks for the hint this is indeed wrong.

What I don't understand is why I have two sliders at the dashboard then?
So typically TOOL FAN and F0 or the custom name for F0.
I want only one to be visible in that case then TOOL FAN as there is only one tool.

And this was also the question from the thread opener:

They both do the same thing but I can't remove either of them and still have a working fan

[Phaedrux]

@Nellor On the status page there is a button to "Change Visibility" of the fans there. See if hiding the tool fan there also hides it on the dashboard. If it doesn't that could be a feature request.

[Nellor]

@Phaedrux
Doesn't work, already tried... it hides only at the status page...

@Phaedrux said in Tool Fan selector in Duet Web Control:

This is the thing what I wanted to confirm from the both guys before me

[Phaedrux]

@Nellor I've brought that forward as a request. Until then, best just ignore it? Just try to keep in mind that it makes a lot more sense when multiple tools (or even LEDs on a fan header) are involved.

[Nellor]

@Phaedrux
Thank you!
Of course I understand the intention in that case and it makes sense....

I'll try here. There is still no solution for the double controller with the same function?

The solution is to hide the slider if you don't want to see it duplicated.
