heating up bed: Command M140 SXX - heating fails after 1s; Command M190 SXX works properly

Since two month I am trying to figure out what could be wrong:

I am successfully running a little 3D-printer with repetier-Firmware and RepetierHost since more than two years by now. It has a Ramps1.4 and everything runs well seemless since ever.

Last year I started building a new printer - bigger, better, the usual... I decided to switch to Arduino Due with a RADDS addition. I want to use Repetier-Firmware on that printer as well, because I got used to it and I like it. I got everything running up to now. I can even print where really everything works fine - heating of bed and nozzle, steppers, etc.. Except when I try to preheat bed or extruder manually.

Heating the bed to 65°C for example transmitts the command M140 S65 to the Due. I can see the LED of the heated bed port turn on. But it turns off after one second. Sending the command manually responds in equal behaviour and I can not figure out what actually could be wrong.

Why does it heat up properly sending M190 S65 while sending M140 S65 sends it sleeping again after one second? I mean it is even printing...

Is it a known issue? Is there a solution. Did I set some safety function wrong? I compared it with the firmware of my old printer but I did not find any difference...

best regards,

Hanno

    /*
    If the firmware is in laser mode, it can control a laser output to cut or engrave materials.
    Please use this feature only if you know about safety and required protection. Lasers are
    dangerous and can hurt or make you blind!!!

    The default laser driver only supports laser on and off. Here you control the eíntensity with
    your feedrate. For exchangeable diode lasers this is normally enough. If you need more control
    you can set the intensity in a range 0-255 with a custom extension to the driver. See driver.h
    and comments on how to extend the functions non invasive with our event system.

    If you have a laser - powder system you will like your E override. If moves contain a
    increasing extruder position it will laser that move. With this trick you can
    use existing fdm slicers to laser the output. Laser width is extrusion width.

    Other tools may use M3 and M5 to enable/disable laser. Here G1/G2/G3 moves have laser enabled
    and G0 moves have it disables.

    In any case, laser only enables while moving. At the end of a move it gets
    automatically disabled.

    ... some ideas?
  • Did you send the disable bed after 3 seconds? Maybe a few more seconds would be good to see M105 evolve, but on first look it looks like it had bed already tuned of also you see clearly that it was set to 65 as expected. That is strange as there is no indication that it was reset to 0.

    Have you tried latest 92.8 from yesterday? There was a problem with bed in combination with thermo coupled fan, whcih you do not have, but you never know.
  • I did not send the bed disable after 3 seconds. I just sent M140 S65 manually. It seems that the firmware itself decides to turn the bed off again. I am running a DUE with RADDS. I am already wondering if it is maybe an issue with the DUE trunk of the repetier firmware. I am facing the problem since 92.6 what was the versionof the firmware when I started trying this.

    I did not try the latest 92.8 from yesterday yet. But I will give it a shot. Did you hear about other people facing similar effects already?

    that is a command coming from your host which I assumed you send. As you see it disables the bed. What host are you using? Looks a bit like repetier and that command gets send if you hit the bed button.

    No you are the only one where the bed goes off directly.
  • Indeed I am using repetier host. When I input the command manually it shows the same behaviour. Is there a setting in repetier host which I missed? Or could it be an issue with my linux host?
  • The host never changes temperatures on it's own. You need always to hit the button or move slider to get it disable. So unless you use double clicks to enable I see not how this should happen and sending manually would also not effected by the problem. Do you really always see the disable command followed within a few seconds?
  • No, I enable the heating and the controller disables by itself. Neither me nor the host sends a disable command. And that is the odd part. It seems that the firmware disables the heaters after a second.
    I did the update to the latest version today with the same outcome.
  • I just rechecked the code. M1040 and M190 are the same except M190 does wait afterwards and there it seems to work.

    Other reasons to disable bed (which would also disable extruders) would be activating dry rund and stepper timeout. But these would also work on M190.
  • I also checked that and did not see any difference btween m140 and m190 except the waiting time. Maybe i recheck it this evening. I am going to have a look if it could have something to do with code it executes after executing m140. And I will try to send the command from a plain terminal to see if it is a host problem.

    I definitely have no dry switched on. I tried everything in "armed" mode. As I mentioned while printing it works seamless. I just printed stuff at the weekend. Two prints were longer than 5h, one took 3h. All worked well as expected. Just preheating the bed with comman M140 S60 fails as well as preheating the extruder with command M104 T0 S210.
  • That is in deed not understandable as I change bed temperature all the time with that command und thousands of other users do all without problems.
  • I connected with CuteCom (Terminal under Linux) and logged the following:

    wait
    wait
    wait
    ok 0
    TargetBed:60
    TargetExtr0:0
    TargetBed:0
    wait
    wait
    wait
    wait
    wait
    wait
    ok 0
    TargetBed:60
    wait
    TargetExtr0:0
    TargetBed:0
    wait
    wait
    wait

    When the firmware states the TargetBed:60 i just sent the command (M140 S60). Then I receive one wait until the firmware resets the temperatures forbed and extruder to zero (--> TargetExtr:0 TargetBed:0).

    I am already wondering if it could something in the configuration. But I doupt that because I looked through it so many times and there is nothing odd in there.
  • What I see is that bed and extruder get new values. So it is not just be dtemperature being reset I guess. In your case I'd add
    Com::printFLN(PSTR("Kill called"));
    to Printer::kill function, maybe even with parameter send (must be cast to int with (int) so yous ee if it is the kill function restting it. That is the only function that can do it and gets called automatically on some timeouts. Also check your timeouts in eeprom.

    Neat! Thanks for your help! I solved it!
    I followed the advice adding Com::printFLN(PSTR("Kill called")); to the Printer::kill function. Indeed the kill function was called quite frequent (around every µs). So I had a look into the configuration again and found a little timer setting in the mechanics section

    Disable as much as possible after inactivity of
    MAX_INACTIVE_TIME

    Which was set to one second (i guess a preset value? Because I never touched it). Disabling it solved my problem. But I am not so sure if I like the result because everything stays powered now - stepper drivers, etc..
    It was set to one second in myold printer as well. Interesting is that heated bed and extruder keep heating although everything else stays cold - especially the stepper drivers.
    Has there been some changes in this part of the firmware lately?
  • Maybe it is an idea to add some options for parts which should not be disabled after the timeout, like heatings...
  • Default is 0 and disabling stepper after 5 minutes of inactivity. So we have the difference and heaters stay normally on steppers not. But thats up to user.
