Heat Chamber Set Up
-
Hi.
I am trying to set up a chamber heater for my coreXY printer. The issue is that although i have the chamber wire connected to pin 8 (heater 3) when I set the heat temperature to a value, the heat chamber does not turn on. I verified that the pin itself isnt getting pulled low.
What do you think the issue is? Ive included the code below

Remove the M301 H3 P-1 command. If you want to force bang-bang mode, use M307 to do that instead.

Thanks, It seems like this page is incorrect:

One more question, it looks like the three volt rail isnt quite enough voltage to get my SSR to turn on. Is it OK to plug the +v side of the SSR into +5V instead of +3V?
-
It probably won't hurt the processor, but I don't advise doing that because it would probably result in a small amount of current flowing into the pin when the SSR is turned off. It would be a little safer if you connect a silicon diode in series with the control input, to drop another 0.6V.
Are you sure you have the SSR control inputs connected the right way round? Most SSRs works with 3V upwards, so 3.3V should be more than enough.
I have corrected the wiki page.

EDIT: Upon reading the reviews it seems like despite being “rated” at 3v the ssr does not actually work at 3.3v.
Thanks for the tip about the diode, i think i will go that route for now as i have diodes on hand…
