@mendenmh Hi, thanks for your input, it was the "setting the bed heater to Bang Bang" suggestion that worked. cheers

@T3P3Tony Thanks that done the trick. Could you explain why? many thanks Jim

Has anyone got an idea as to what is going on please?

Unable to measure at the Power adapter terminals because it uses a R7B connector but at the VIN terminals it was 24.2 volts with the heater off and 23.83 volts with the heater on continuously. One thing I did notice was that the lighting LEDs flickered and the power adapter buzzed together when the temp reached 50°C. Also, because I had the printer on it's side, I could see that there was a red LED flickering next to the VIN to Bed fuse.

@dc42 could you suggest an external mosfet that’d work well with my board or they all pretty much the same? Thanks

I've just taken it to 600 and it still buzzes. The flickering stopped though so that's a start. Think I'll just keep the LED's turned off

Does the board use more power than the original Ultimaker board because that's all I have changed?

@Phaedrux Tried what you suggested for the PWM frequency and the PSU started buzzing, is this right?

Do you have any recommendations on a better PSU? I'm using the meanwell GST220A24-R7B power adapter that came with the Ultimaker 2+. Thanks

hi, I'm using version 2.05.01 firmware

Hi all,
I've hooked up my lighting LED's to the E1 on my duet 2 wifi and control them using a slider on the Duet control. They all work great with loads of help from this forum, unfortunately I've now just noticed that they are flickering when the build plate heats up. Can anyone help? Cheers Jim

Works a treat, Thanks again @droftarts

Is there a way to add a slider, like the fans sliders, to the DWC to control a dimmer for the LED's?

Yay I now have lights!
They didn't work with just M42 P2 though. I added S255 to it and away we go.
Just got to learn how to "use macros to change the lighting" now. Thanks @droftarts!

Other problem sorted!
I'm using RepRapFirmware 2.05.1. So would I be putting the M307 H2 A-1 C-1 D-1 and M42 P2 in the config.g file?

All done now thanks guys. In the end I've reverted back to 2.05.1, out of my depth with this version really! Can you tell me how to mark in as Solved please? once again thanks.

That is after I have sorted out another problem! lol

@droftarts Many thanks, I will give it a go.

Whilst upgrading my firmware to 3, I had a power cut and now I can't connect to the Duet2Wifi using the Duet Web Control. It says "Safari can't open page because the server where this page is located isn't responding".
Please would someone guide me back to where I was. Many thanks

Hi guys, I'm converting an Ultimaker 2+ and want to control the 24v LED strip from the web control using the E1 heater pin. I'd like to use this as all my fan pins are taken or is there a better way? Just to warn you I'm new to this so need a bit more help. Many thanks
