Bed not heating
Hello all, best wishes! Setting up my V-Core 3.1 400 here with an Octopus 1.1, all going fine so far except for one thing. The bed is not heating up when I try to do so in RatOS. Wiring seems fine, SSR LED lights up red when I ask it to heat, but the actual bed is not getting hotter.
Am I missing something? Pretty much stock printer config with RatOS 2 Alpha 4.

Use a multimeter to confirm you are getting the proper voltage out from octopus and SSR. Check if you have continuity on your bed heater pad. Check to make sure you got a bed heater that matches your countries voltage

Getting 24V at the SSR, and as soon as I ask it to heat up I'm getting continuity
Testing the wires from SSR to the bed heater pad also shows continuity
I went with the
Keenovo 380x380mm 220V 1000W Silicone Heater Bed, living in the Netherlands so that should be good too
(Also shows up on the bottom of the heating pad, 220V 1000W)Did you test to see if you are getting 220v out from the SSR?

Seems I'm getting continuity but no power
Measuring 0v
Post a picture of how you have it wired up

Pretty much how the build page tells me to
But that page doesn't give you the other end of the SSR. So please post a picture of how you actually wired the SSR

Was my bad... Fixed the wiring and it's all good now 🙂 cheers for the help!

I have the same problem, however I am fairly sure my wiring is good. I get no LED light on the relay and there is no voltage coming out of "bed-out" terminal on the mobo.
please start a new post
