Fan controls don't work, console does
-
When I try to control the fans using the webUI, they don't all show up and changing the visibility of sliders does some strange things. The slider that does appear does not control anything, but M106 and M42 commands on those pins work fine in the console. I took a screen recording of the strange recording. Below is my config.g and a link to the screencap. This behavior occurs in both firefox and safari.

You have called the part cooling fan F5 in the M950 command, P1 in the M106 command, and F0 in the M563 command. Change it to fan 0 in all 3.

EDIT: Updating DWC fixes the dashboard fan control problem.

Okay, so I cleaned some things up. I didn't realize fans had to start at zero and go up from there. Fan0 work properly everywhere. I haven't tested fan1 since I want powering the heaters to be the last thing I do. Fan2 controls the MCU fan manually, but only on the status page. On the dashboard, the controls take input, but ignore it and flip back to the part cooler. It's supposed to be thermostatically controlled. I don't mind having a slider I can mess around with and see move by itself though, but the behavior should be consistent. Pin3 doesn't respond to M106, which I can understand because it isn't a fan, but I can't make a slider for the lighting. I can only use a macro of M42 to turn them on and off.So, closer, but not there yet. new config.g below:

Is everything working now?

No. Sorry I didn't get my quote levels right. From above:
Okay, so I cleaned some things up. I didn't realize fans had to start at zero and go up from there. Fan0 work properly everywhere. I haven't tested fan1 since I want powering the heaters to be the last thing I do. Fan2 controls the MCU fan manually, but only on the status page.

@Mentaluproar Please post current config.g. Thermostatic fans don’t show a slider, as they are automatically controlled. Tool fans only show when the tool is active. Name fans/LEDs with C parameter in M106. Change visibility of fans in DWC in the status page. See other threads about LED lights.

I started over with the reprap configurator, plugging in values from this config but letting the tool create the config.g for me. Fans behaved. For future reference, here is my config.g file. Everything but bltouch works, but I'll do another post for that.

Nope! Tool fan still shows up as a selectable and controllable fan on the UI, but it just copies the values of the parts cooler fan. Tool fan shouldn't show up under fan controls at all.

That's working as intended. The tool fan slider is for the currently selected tool. The part cooling fan is for that particular fan. You only have 1 tool, so they are the same. But if you had two print heads, or a tool changer, the tool fan would be for the currently selected tool, and then there would be the actual part cooling fans. The tool fan slider would control whichever tool was currently selected, and the part cooling fan sliders would control each individual part cooling fan.
I hope that makes sense.
I think in recent versions of DWC (2.0.7) you can choose to hide the sliders you don't want to see.

@Phaedrux okay, thanks.
