    M42 prevents use of sensitive pins (a list in pins.h). For fan you should use M106/M107 to change values.

    a pin to be inserted into the board fans start G-code
    It worked well with previous firmware
    alligator pin board 40

  • RepetierRepetier
    Just checked config and pin 40 is not used by alligator definition, so that should work. What wonders me is the error message which is not english. Repetier-Firmware has only english error messages, so maybe you are using Marlin?

    I have checked the sources and you get this message only if the pin number is in sensitive pins. FAN_PIN and LED_PIN get added to sensitive pin, so if you have set it to 40 and 41 in your pins.h you can not set it with M42 that is correct. LED_PIN and FAN_PIN have specific usages and are used by firmware so you need to use firmware commands to control them not 42. If you want M42 don't set them in pins.h.

    > Maralb> if I Zprobe and Z-correction (distortion correction) everything works fine with M42
    if not active have problems with answers.

    Interesting thing since that should have nothing to do with the problem. That lead me to an idea what the real problem is. Seems like pins were stored in an int array which is treated as bytes causing it to test more bytes then present.

    Please check if it now also works with newest update. I think that should fix the problem.
