Spider 1.1 Fans

Can't seem to get my 12v fans working, neither part cooling nor toolhead, the power led won't light up red on them, voltage jumper is set at 12v for both, free fan plug on the board has the red light on. Validated both fans with an external power source. Can provide any cfg files needed.

* What version of ratos are you using * upload your printer.cfg * upload picture of your wiring

Excuse the terrible picture, i was trying to get a proper one, i can do a more general one if needed. All wiring follows the guide on the ratos wiki for the spider as far as i can tell

This is my cfg, as I'm using the ports from the wiki schematic I assume i don't have to change anything there? (https://os.ratrig.com/docs/boards/fysetc/spider-11/ for reference)

can do that and report back if you think it's best tried to write come gcode to debug but it din't work either
blacksmithforlife
not the problem, but you want a space between the name and value on line 293 i.e. mesh_max:120,135 -> mesh_max: 120,135

@miklschmidt according to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FYSETC/FYSETC-SPIDER/main/Spider_V2.2_Pinout.pdf the board pins don't match the ratos config. Shouldn't fan_part_cooling_pin be PA14 not PB1? fan_toolhead_cooling_pin be PA13 not PB0? @lurker8060 try adding this to the end of your config:
[fan]
pin: PA14

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA13
[fan]
pin: PA14

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA13

will do that now on their wiki they don't have the pin names for the 1.x names i think at least on the fans doesn't seem to be that, now moving the slider does not illuminate the led

yeah, they just suck ohh looking again at https://github.com/FYSETC/FYSETC-SPIDER/blob/main/Spider_V2.2_Pinout.pdf it lists the pins for 1.1 below and they are PA0, PA1 so try this
[fan]
pin: PA1

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA0
[fan]
pin: PA1

[heater_fan toolhead_cooling_fan]
pin: PA0

pin bltouch_sensor_pin is an alias for PA0 Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted huh
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
this is what the config comes with btw
fair-rose

PB and PA misshap on their end? (my bltouch is working btw so asumin thats fine on that end) I probed the output of the slider on the dashboard, i get the 0v to 12V range albeit but that is not the issue

2.2 isn’t supported
blacksmithforlife
Ahh
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
The title of this post says 1.1?
blacksmithforlife
Yeah, I was dumb
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
Ah no worries
blacksmithforlife
I didn't realize there were so many versions of the board
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
Yeah, it's a right mess... Lol
blacksmithforlife
If that's working, and the fans are working when connected directly to a different power supply, I guess it is the wiring between the board and the fans
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
Or they’re not pwmable, try 100%
fair-rose

I'm proving the ends And i powered through the cables just incase Let's see nothing ok now the toolhead oen is responding to the part cooling slider after wapping the cables sucking in air from the hotend
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
and it does throttle with the pwm

PB1 works then fans fan_part_cooling_pin=PB1, fan_toolhead_cooling_pin=PB0, fan_controller_board_pin=PB2, how would i go on over riding these if i want the 3 fans [fan fan_part_cooling_pin] pin: PB0 [heater_fan fan_toolhead_cooling_pin] pin: PB1 this ain't it obviously
blacksmithforlife
What do you mean? These are the pins by default
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
i was trying to map em to the right pins, so the dashboard can actually move the fan that it needs to move
blacksmithforlife
So the dashboard can move them? Sorry I'm not understanding
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
Let me recheck and actually tell you ok now the print fan works with the stock slider now my quesion is if i can get a slider for the toolhead fan or some way to check it
blacksmithforlife
Yeah, sounds like wiring is suspect to me Heat up your hotend
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
as in here

It comes on when the hotend is hot. So heat up your hotend
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
Heater extruder not heating at expected rate See the 'verify_heater' section in docs/Config_Reference.md for the parameters that control this check. Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the config, and restart the host software. Printer is shutdown obviously need to work on this before lol give me a sec any set temp¿ got it at 80 and it's not on
blacksmithforlife
Is your heater not hooked up?
fair-rose
fair-rose2y ago
It wasn't, but it's heating fine now Haha Problem is i don't know at what temp the fan should kick in As 90 doesn't seem to do it
blacksmithforlife
It should kick on immediately while heating, and then turn off when it cools below 50⁰

It was something with the crimping Best practice to reverse the polarity via .cfg? Or should i just swap cables Or spin the fan around i guess
