Setting up F0 & F1 Thermostatically & GCode controlled

Nylkos

On my Duet 0.8.5 (2 always on & 2 controlled fans)
Trying to setup my F0 for Thermostatically control
and my F1 for GCode controlled...

From what I have read,
[https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fans#Section_Thermostatically_controlled_fans](link url)
[https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M106_Fan_On](link url)

This should work:
M106 P0 T45 S1 H1 ; Set Fan0 Thermostatically controlled, start fan at 100% when heater 1 reaches 45 Degrees
M106 P1 S1 H-1 ; Set Fan1 GCode controlled at 100%

However, I even tried with S0 from P0 to P4 (just in case) nothing seems to modify the fans plugged in the Fan0 and Fan1 pins...

Is there anything else then M106 that can control those two fans?

I know that it used to work (had to change the card)

Thanks you

what happens to fan 0 when your hotend gets above 45?

Some type of fan don't work with anything less than 100% PWM. Others work if you set the PWM frequency very low (F parameter in the M106 command), e.g. F100.

We recommend that you use Fan1 for the thermostatically-controlled fan and Fan0 for the print cooling fan. It saves having to map the print cooling fan in the tool definition command.

ATM they are always on at 100%.
I unplugged my F1 fan (Gcodes controlled cooling fan), moved the hotend fan to F1 and tested with F500 F5 F100, the fan remain always on
M106 P1 S1 I0 F100 H1 T45

I can't seem to setup my Fan1 for Titan Aero cooling with Thermostatically,, it seems to always be on...

I tried M106 with S0, still runs, I tested with F5, F100, F500 and still no change... I can't seem to slow it down, turn off or to setup Thermostatically.

To me, it feels like if my fan is plugged in the always on pins...

Thanks you for any assistance

You have no H parameter in your M106 P1 command, so the firmware doesn't know which heater temperatures to monitor.

Nylkos

My apologies, I applied the correction but the fans remain always on...
I still haven't found a way to dim significantly or to turn off the Fans 0 or 1.

What M106 command are you using for that fan now?

Nylkos

Tried these...

Turn off
M106 P1 T45 S1 H1 ; If at room temp should stop
M106 P1 S0 H-1
M107 P1

Dim
M106 P1 S1 H-1 ; and comparing to
M106 P1 S0.2 H-1

M106 P1 S255 H-1 ; and comparing to
M106 P1 S5 H-1

I also tried a few frequency.

I also tried to modify the Fan control on the Web controller, I did not see a difference.

ATM I am just trying to make react any fan. I have the 24V heatsink fans for the E3D V6 and Titan Aero, do they require specific frequency?

dc42

The heatsink fans supplied by E3D do not work with PWM, so you will have to be content with turning them on and off.
