I am trying to print abs for the first time and right after the G28 I get these two errors. I have printed pla and petg for my calibrations and now want to finish the printer parts. I am using the jontek2 "a better start macro" and Elis bedfans macro. I have set the pin # for my fans. There is a section that calls for "SET_PIN PIN=The_Filter VALUE=1" in the start macro which is for the nevermore that I assume turns it on?? I am lost here. coding is def not my thing at all. Please help

For example, you have your bed fans configured as a fan_generic

#

As such, you need to control them with SET_FAN commands, not SET_PIN

ok changed set_pin to set_fan and get "Unknown command:"SET_FAN" error

#

The bed fans did turn on though and the printer is heating up. The "extruder not hot enough" error didnt happen this time

#

Sorry, it's SET_FAN_SPEED....

zenith verge
#

I tried that to same error

bronze ermine
#

Unlikely

#

Show your work?

zenith verge
#

one sec

#

think i got it
"SET_FAN_SPEED FAN="

#

she is heating and no more errors

#

why did the fans setup give a extruder temp error?

bronze ermine
#

It didnt

#

The fan error aborted your print start macro

#

(Meaning temperatures never got set)

zenith verge
#

ah

bronze ermine
#

And then trying to extrude afterwards, with a cold nozzle delivered an error exactly like it should

#

would this cause me the same issue? I dont have case lighting yet so can not test as I need to print the holder for them still
SET_PIN PIN=caselight VALUE=1

bronze ermine
#

Do you have the caselight config block?

#

(Whether or not anything is actually wired to the port)

zenith verge
#

I have this

[output_pin caselight]
#Chamber Lighting - HE0
pin: PE3
pwm: false
value: 0

bronze ermine
#

Right

#

So software wise, the lights are there

#

Thus no error

#

The fact that no actual lights are wired to the port is largely irrelevant

#

ok thank you very much. I can now get to printing all rest of the printer

#

I appreciate the help, enjoy your Day/evening!
