Connecting External Temperature Sensor and Waiting for It
-
Hello there,
I am trying to configure an external linear-analog sensor to be used to measure temperatures and wait for a desired temperature. Currently I'm using
M308 S2 P"io7.in" Y"linear-analog" A"omega" B-325 C1300
to create the sensor. This part works fine. However, I cannot figure out what combinations of virtual heaters are needed to have it wait for a desired temperature. -
@InvinciblenRMC
you may be able to use this
M191: Wait for chamber temperature to reach target temp
Parameters
Snnn minimum target temperature, waits while heating
Rnnn accurate target temperature, waits while heating and cooling
Pnnn Chamber slot. This defaults to 0 and the maximum is dependent on the board type. (Supported in RepRapFirmware 1.20 and later)
ExamplesM191 S60
Set the temperature of the build chamber to 60C and wait for the temperature to be reached. -
@InvinciblenRMC you can just use a while loop to monitor the temperature reading in the object model (OM) eg
While temp < 60 G4 S5
With temp being replaced by the OM name. You can use the OM plugin to get the correct name. RRF will check the reading every 5 seconds until is greater than 60 or whatever you set it to.
