T1 hotend trouble

Don’t know if this is the right place to post this but I’m running out of ideas. With VC4 IDEX when I try to set T1 heat or heat it up with Load Filament macro it doesn’t heat up. Mainsail says “heater extruder1 not supported”. But if I run a T1 hotend PID it heats up exactly as intended. Both T0 & T1 are setup the same (Rapido 2 UHF and Orbiter v2) only difference is beacon on T0. T0 works fine consistently. Only T1 says “heater extruder1 not supported” have check printer.cfg and RatOS.cfg for any obvious differences but have not noticed anything. Please help, VAOC cal went pretty good, just want to load and test T1 thanks!

Please, share ratos-debug.zip Otherwise we all are trying to guess what is wrong

@TheTrashPanda please continue in this thread instead of in general, starting with the debug.zip requested by Pereira

Sorry I had posted here first and never received an answer so that’s why I went to General. Will get the RatOS-debug.zip @MDFPereira not trying to make anyone guess just didn’t know what files to find to help. This is my first RatRig build and first open source printer.

also since sending the debug, I've moved the bed fan and bento filter fan code to an include to clean it up a bit. Still learning klipper and always open to tips and advice.

I've never messed with IDEX so I don't know that I'll catch what's wrong, but am looking now. When you ran the configurator you do have T0 and T1 set up, right? not two T0s?

to my knowledge I have them set up as T0 & T1. I know that T1 on mainsail reads the temp in chamber different then the temp on T0 since its not over the bed as much. also every thing on configurator showed a T0 & a T1 so just to test I decided to try to heat up T1 with klipper screen connect to the RPI instead of remote through my computer, and klipper screen will heat up T1. tested both T0 & T1 separately and they both work there. have not tried the Load Filament command there yet though. will shortly and let you know. I was able to load filament on T1 in klipperscreen. still unable to in mainsail though.

very odd. I would have thought they call the same macro. Might be worth tracking down where that macro is called by klipperscreen

also another thing I just noticed. Specifically typing in console 'm104 T1 s240' works typing in the drop down taht displays tems works for t0 but not t1 *That displays temps and before what I said "filament load macro" I meant clicking the "load filament button, selecting temp/extruder" (those are macro commands right?)

Pretty sure Its just a mainsail button that calls it

so gcode for set temp on t1 works in console, T1 PID works, but selecting temp for T1 from drop down, and load filament macro set temp for T1 dont work thats where the error is produced but unfortunately I have to get ready for work so I'll have to continue this when I get back. at least we made some progress 😅 thanks!

What happens if you enter this into the mainsail console? SET_HEATER_TEMPERATURE heater=1 target=220 ? If I'm reading correctly, this is the macro that is sending that error message

I’ll double check that when I get home. I work for the railroad and heading out of town, should be back sometime Wednesday.
