Hi guys, Its been a while since I have used my Ormerod due to the LAN chip failing on the duet board, I have decided to get Ormerod working again and rather than replacing the duet board I have decided to go down the Octopi route. I have set it up and XYZ controls work however I have an issue with commanding the hot end to active at any temperature. heated bed and hot end standby temps are fine. I know Duet firmware is old but it worked last time I used it FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 1.12 ELECTRONICS: Duet 0.6 DATE: 2016-05-07 If I send M104 S210 ; set temperature the new temp displays on my LCD screen as active however it doesn't heat, the only way to get it to heat is to set the standby temp high, this will start heating immediately. It sounds like i am missing a vital gcode to tell the printer to enable heating to active temps. Does the RepRap firmware work differently to marlin when setting active temps? Any help/ideas appreciated.

I used pronterface to print the same file and it works as expected, hot end is hot and extruder drive is moving.]]> PaulHam Ormerod Wed, 22 Jul 2020 08:09:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,875323,875323#msg-875323 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,875323,875323#msg-875323
