M109 Command not working

NerdHerd704

Hey All, I recently upgraded my hot end temp sensor to a PT100 and ever since the printer will start without the extruder being fully heated. The sensor is reading the correct temperature and the printer is otherwise working fine but it seems like it is totally ignoring the M109 command and beginning the print before the extruder reaches temperature. The only changes I made when I added the PT100 was the temperature table and the analog input pin the temperature is now being read through. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy

Little more information, using 091 firmware on Rambo 1.3

Apart from 0.91 being quite old a new sensor should not finish M109 if readings are ok. You could try to send manually

M109 S200

M115

and watch temperature graph and log. In log you see output of M115 when M109 is finished so you know when exactly it stops.

Thanks for the response. I've been hesitant to upgrade what works for fear of downtime but maybe it is about time. I seem to be getting the correct temperatures(verified at ambient and at operating temp) but perhaps I have an error in my lookup table causing the M109 to be met prematurely. Logging the temp is a good idea, if I do have an error I should be able to catch it.

Temperatures look spot on as far as terminal output goes. Going to verify at the hot end with a thermocouple today.

Is there another pin that I need to assign? The only pin I reassigned was the analog input for my hot end see highlight. I am assuming this is scaled and used to compare to the M109 condition. Is this correct?

Repetier

M109 always uses computed temperature but not sure on older versions.

Since thermocouple and thermistor need different analog inputs, that would be the only thing to change.

Well found out my problem. When I mounted the amplifier board, a convenient spot happened to be fairly close to my stepper motor drives. I think a transient from my motors coupled to the amplifier board causing a spike just high enough to fool the M109 command. Problem fixed itself after I found a new home for the amplifier board.
