M140 Heater Fault Error
-
@dc42
Thanks for the feedback.
It is a cheap Fotec but was purchased from Amazon.
So I know they are all considered junk.
I just recently purchased an Auber Relay knowing this after these other cheap Chinese ones keep melting! They have done so multiple times over the last few years.
Knowing that I will use M950. So this is in place of M307 is that correct? -

No. It is in addition to M307.

Got it!
Let me try it!
Does it come in after M307 or before? -
M950 H0 C"bedheat" Q100 T0 ; create heater #0
Just edit your existing M950 command for the bed heater in config.g to change Q100 to Q10. That's all.

@Phaedrux Just as follow up for anyone following this thread. Most all of the issues have been corrected with your excellent and quick assistance.
The only thing I still really don't like is even when changing the M950 Q100 down to Q10 the SSR still is fluctuating on and off multiple times a second with giving a scientific answer. I was hoping to see it operating on and off more like every 3 to 5 seconds. -
@pete1961 you cant go below 1Hz switching frequency, but I did have success with Q1 in the past.

10 times per second to be specific.
I've used Q1 when the heated bed was making my lights flicker.
Did you get a better SSR yet?
-
@Phaedrux a proper zero crossing SSR should avoid the flicker.
-
@oliof I think in my case it was an interaction with the way my home automation system controls the lights using UPB.
