Part cooling fan setting problems (bugy like stuff...)
-
Still on 3.4.6.
I had implemented a part cooling fan, but not assembled it but today, as I usually do not use such... addon.
I managed to have a surprise though - it seems my karma as an ex test engineer, is byting my ... something!Fan works. It starts at 100% (I need to check where from this comes by default in gcode).
But: If I am setting its speed in Panel Due, it is ok, it acts as it should, i.e. changing speed, and of course, actual speed being updated in Panel, and in DWC too.The other but: I also can set it from DWC, it is changing speed accordingly, but the actual speed is not updated in Panel Due.
Of course, I can after that make the change manually in Panel Due, to correspond with what I set in DWC, but the fact is that Panel Due seems to have a problem with DWC, or, of course, something evades my little understanding... again.
Note: T0, to wich is associated this fan, WAS active all the time, as a result of T0 at the end of config.g.

@soare0 you shouldn't be assign a thermostatic fan to a tool. Remove fan 0 from your M563.
That won't fix your other issues though.
Can you check and report the version of DWC you're running as well as the version of paneldue firmware -
@jay_s_uk DWC 3.4.6, Panel Due 3.4.1
I do not understand why not associate the thermostatic fan to a tool. This is the way the cooling fan is associated to the extruder, via a thermostatic fan. In fact, I did not do this myself, it was associated with the thermostatic fan by RRF. It was another one, wich I do not use, so... I did the same. This way, when heating starts, the cooling starts automatically too, beyond a threshold.
RRF associated fans 0 and 1, and I added just fan 3, as it was the same role as fan 0 had with the old extruder.
In fact, my first intention was to do a programmable chiller, but something did not work.Now, thinking better, I assume you want to say that it is a bad ideea, because if one has multiple tools, when switching tools the chilling will stop for the first tool.
Yes, I see your point. Fortunately I have only one tool for now, but I will check this, as it is important to be done right.
Thank you.
L.E. I see that the problem may have been solved in 3.5.0 rc1 already.
Normally, I would need to update to 3.5.0 both to 6XD and Panel Due, but I am a little hesitant about it, as for now the printer ... almost works (except such bugs), and I am not very experienced in this ... gcode stuff (knowing that there are new bugs to be solved, hehe...).Probably I will do it though, tomorrow...

@soare0 thermostatic fans can't be controlled. The fans associated with the tool in M563 are the part cooling fans. Therefore you shouldn't be associating a thermostatic fan (usually the hotend fan) to a tool

@jay_s_uk
Yes, they cant be controlled, but they will have set in config.g the threshold at wich to start running, wich is ok.
Besides, RRF did it, not me...
Without RRF, I could not have make heads or tails of the configuration files.
However, based on your advice, I will redo this, somehow...Anyway, I updated all the firmware files to 3.5.0 (6XD, 3HC and Panel Due). My Panel Due, being version ... 1 I guess (it is nothing written on back, beside 7i), needed some effort for it (needed to change the name and to manually press buttons on it), but was ok, too.
Long story short, the problem with buttons is gone, and best of all, the machine is printing now.
As I had other issues with Panel Due, I will check them all.Thank you.
