Spider 1.1 Fans

Can't seem to get my 12v fans working, neither part cooling nor toolhead, the power led won't light up red on them, voltage jumper is set at 12v for both, free fan plug on the board has the red light on. Validated both fans with an external power source. Can provide any cfg files needed.

* What version of ratos are you using * upload your printer.cfg * upload picture of your wiring

Excuse the terrible picture, i was trying to get a proper one, i can do a more general one if needed. All wiring follows the guide on the ratos wiki for the spider as far as i can tell

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

This is my cfg, as I'm using the ports from the wiki schematic I assume i don't have to change anything there? (https://os.ratrig.com/docs/boards/fysetc/spider-11/ for reference)

printer.cfg

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

should def upgrade

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

can do that and report back if you think it's best tried to write come gcode to debug but it din't work either

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

not the problem, but you want a space between the name and value on line 293 i.e. mesh_max:120,135 -> mesh_max: 120,135

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

noted! updating everything now

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

@miklschmidt according to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FYSETC/FYSETC-SPIDER/main/Spider_V2.2_Pinout.pdf the board pins don't match the ratos config. Shouldn't fan_part_cooling_pin be PA14 not PB1? fan_toolhead_cooling_pin be PA13 not PB0? @lurker8060 try adding this to the end of your config:

[fan]
pin: PA14

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA13

[fan]
pin: PA14

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA13

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

will do that now on their wiki they don't have the pin names for the 1.x names i think at least on the fans doesn't seem to be that, now moving the slider does not illuminate the led

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

let me switch machines, their svgs are unusuable on my linux box

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

yeah, they just suck ohh looking again at https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSETC-SPIDER/blob/main/Spider_V2.2_Pinout.pdf it lists the pins for 1.1 below and they are PA0, PA1 so try this

[fan]
pin: PA1

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA0

[fan]
pin: PA1

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA0

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

pin bltouch_sensor_pin is an alias for PA0 Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted huh

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

this is what the config comes with btw

spider.cfg

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

PB and PA misshap on their end? (my bltouch is working btw so asumin thats fine on that end) I probed the output of the slider on the dashboard, i get the 0v to 12V range albeit but that is not the issue

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

miklschmidt•2y ago

2.2 isn’t supported

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

Ahh

miklschmidt•2y ago

The title of this post says 1.1?

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

Yeah, I was dumb

miklschmidt•2y ago

Ah no worries

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

I didn't realize there were so many versions of the board

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Yeah, it's a right mess... Lol

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

If that's working, and the fans are working when connected directly to a different power supply, I guess it is the wiring between the board and the fans

miklschmidt•2y ago

Or they’re not pwmable, try 100%

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I'm proving the ends And i powered through the cables just incase Let's see nothing ok now the toolhead oen is responding to the part cooling slider after wapping the cables sucking in air from the hotend

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

and it does throttle with the pwm

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

PB1 works then fans fan_part_cooling_pin=PB1, fan_toolhead_cooling_pin=PB0, fan_controller_board_pin=PB2, how would i go on over riding these if i want the 3 fans [fan fan_part_cooling_pin] pin: PB0 [heater_fan fan_toolhead_cooling_pin] pin: PB1 this ain't it obviously

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

What do you mean? These are the pins by default

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

i was trying to map em to the right pins, so the dashboard can actually move the fan that it needs to move

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

So the dashboard can move them? Sorry I'm not understanding

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Let me recheck and actually tell you ok now the print fan works with the stock slider now my quesion is if i can get a slider for the toolhead fan or some way to check it

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

Yeah, sounds like wiring is suspect to me Heat up your hotend

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

as in here

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

It comes on when the hotend is hot. So heat up your hotend

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Heater extruder not heating at expected rate See the 'verify_heater' section in docs/Config_Reference.md for the parameters that control this check. Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the config, and restart the host software. Printer is shutdown obviously need to work on this before lol give me a sec any set temp¿ got it at 80 and it's not on

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

Is your heater not hooked up?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

It wasn't, but it's heating fine now Haha Problem is i don't know at what temp the fan should kick in As 90 doesn't seem to do it

blacksmithforlife•2y ago

It should kick on immediately while heating, and then turn off when it cools below 50⁰

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

It was something with the crimping Best practice to reverse the polarity via .cfg? Or should i just swap cables Or spin the fan around i guess
