No temperature readings on smart LCD screen on Def

Hello, I am new here and new with repetier host, I am using the latest version of repetier firmware on ramps 1.4 and graphical lcd. But there is a problem with heating the bed and the extruder, on my lcd screen it shows extruder 1 OFF I can't tur nit on. On lcd there is Def instead of temperature for bed and for the extruder. Please look the picture below. If anyone have a solution for this please post it!

With best regards

  • This happens if no thermistors are connected, the thermistors have a short, are defect or are plugged on the wrong pin or configured wrong. Most new users see it because they connect before wiring is complete and in this case it can be ignored.
  • This is my configuration, I mesuered both thermistor, on the extruder is about 100k ohm and on the bed is about 7ohm. Thermistor on extruder is connected on T0 and the bed thermistor is on T1 connector on ramps. Here is my config:

    What am I doing wrong?
  • It is very interesting if I put heated bed support out of the config the extruder works fine it's shows the correct temp and it is heating up!
  • Yes, because all heaters get marked defect if one has a problem. If you see inside the log you see also a message which one is defect.

    You send " on the bed is about 7ohm" so that is the problem. That should also be around 100K at room temperature. That counts as short since it results in very untypical temperatures. Or it is not the thermistor you think you have, but I assume here you have the same as extruder so search the short.
  • Ok, I'll report tomorrow when i check it. Thanks for the answers!

    Regards
  • I replace the thermistor on motherboard, now heat's up properly. The next problem I've got it that the extruder temp goes to max 215 degrees celcius even if I set it to like 230-240.... Any ideas?
  • See whats your max pwm and max drive pwm value. If these are too low, you can not reach your maximum temperature since they limit your power output to less then 100%.
