M143 issue

Phaedrux

If you send M98 P"config.g" int he gcode console do you get any errors?

What firmware version and board are you using?

oozeBot

We are using Duet3 / RPi combo running 3.2b1. I've never noticed any errors when running config.g through M98 as we have a macro that is doing specifically that.. however, I can run it again once a machine frees up.

Phaedrux

The reason for sending M98 P"config.g" is to see any error messages that get thrown which may get suppressed during initial startup. It's a good way to catch syntax errors.

The only hardcoded limits are -10.0C < temp_limit < 2000.0C, at least in rrf v3.2. Default limit is 125C I think for the bed, but it shouldn't reject higher values.

More likely to be some weirdness with command ordering or initialization timings.

oozeBot

I just ran M98 P"config.g" and the only thing logged is:

Warning: M307: Heater 0 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 365C

Could this be related? I haven't looked into how to resolve this yet..

@oozeBot said in M143 issue:

Also, M140 is before M143 for my bed heater and I'm not using M141 yet in my config..

Is your M950 H0 command before both the M140 command and the M143 H0 command?

If you run M98 P"config.g" do you see any error messages?

@dc42

Full snippet - not sure why I didn't post it earlier.. sorry.

And yes, these are crappy thermistors.. but this one is especially bad, which is what led me to test in this way.

@Phaedrux @dc42 - I just did a hard reboot and ran the following command:

echo heat.heaters[0].max

which returned 125. It's only when I run M143 H0 S140 again will the setting change..

And about the M307 issue, yeah - these are mains heaters and are quite powerful. They are protected with a thermal fuse.

dc42

Maybe M307 resets the M143 settings. Test this by moving the M143 after the M307.

oozeBot

@dc42 that fixed it! But wouldn't the M307 loaded into config-override.g instead still load in this same order? I can test if needed..

Yes, that will be a problem. I will log it as a bug.

@dc42 I just experienced this in 3.2B3 where I had to run "M143 H0 S140" again to get the default to increase above 125. Here is my current config. This was working in 3.2B1 after moving M143 after M307.. Thanks

oozeBot

@dc42 just bumping this as 3.2B3 is definitely not accepting the following command when run from my config. There is no config-override.g. I must run M143 H0 S140 twice to get the updated value to stick.. see above for my current config.

dc42

@oozeBot, please provide your whole config.g file.

oozeBot

@dc42 here you go.. this was working on 3.2b1 after moving M143 after M307.

edit - the "{1}" on line 94 is not present in my config.. there seems to be some issue with the codeblock functionality which is injecting that.

I suspect the order of M143 causes this. Move both M143 codes below the part where you configure heaters+sensors and check if that fixes it.

@chrishamm

I changed my config to:

;== Extruder Heater ====================
M308 S1 P"20.temp0" Y"thermistor" T500000 B4723 C1.196220e-7	; Configures sensor 1 as thermistor on pin temp0 (toolboard is set to B20)

;== Enclosure Heater =========================

M143 H0 S140													; Sets temperature limit for build plate
M143 H1 S400													; Sets temperature limit for extruder
M143 H2 S80														; Sets temperature limit for chamber

I confirmed that it properly set my build plate heater's max temp to 140 like it should, but now DWC isn't showing the build plate heater or the chamber heater? I can still control it from the PanelDue, so it is recognized..

oozeBot

after rebooting once again, the heaters have reappeared. Maybe this was just a fluke.

Should we have to group our M143 commands after each heater is defined? This was not a problem until this build..

dc42

As long as each M143 command comes after all M950, M307, M140 and M141 commands for the same heater, that should work.
