PWM fan 1 not working properly ?
-
Today I did some fan tests with my brand new Duet.
When I execute 'M106 P0 B1.0 S0.3 F250', the fan on that port starts nicely , the same for P2, Playing with speeds and other parameters just works, but P1 refuses to modulate.
Only when I invert = sending 'M106 P1 B1.0 S0.3 F250 I1', the fan goes to full speed and changing the I-parameter to 0 stops the fan. So I suppose electronics is working properly.Board reports temperatures (both NTC and PT100) in some previous testing with USB-5V power.
I connected now for the first time to a 20V supply to check the power electronics. In this case with a 24V axial fan.I do not find any difference between F0, F1 and F2 in the descriptions.
Any idea??
I did comment out all FAN-related commands in the config file :

So … started again once reading through some issues and although I restarted the duet without fans referenced in the config file, it seemed to be in thermostatic mode.
After sending M106 P1 H-1 S0, the fan worked fine.learned a lesson

See the last paragraph of https://duet3d.com/wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fans#G-code_controlled_fans.

Got it…
Thanks for not throwing RTFM

I guess it's hidden away rather. I'll add it to the "Common problems" section too.
