Marlin Firmware Problem

I am trying to move from Sprinter to Marlin but I am getting an error when I try to connect to Pronterface. The error is:

Errorrinter stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)

I followed this tutorial on how to edit the Marlin Configuration.h file, but did not work:

Any idea?

Thanks,

check your thermister connections. the error is a heater fault.

Your minimum temperature alarm has been set off.

Change your configuration.h to these values.

#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 1
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1


#define HEATER_0_MINTEMP 5
#define HEATER_1_MINTEMP 0
#define HEATER_2_MINTEMP 0
#define BED_MINTEMP 5

This enables sensors for Extruder 1 and Bed. (Assuming 100k Thermisistor)

And sets the minimum temperature to 5deg C.

I think the connections are fine but you may be right. Pronterface is reading the tempterature at over 357.5 degrees, but the hotend is cold as ice. Is this a connection issue? You would think it would get no reading at all if there was problems with connection but you may be right!

Thos are the settings I have actually, thanks though!

What is the resistance of your Thermsistor not connected to anything?

Not sure I understand what you mean.

I have made sure that the thermistor is connected to teh right slot. I've also checked with sprinter firmware and found out that the Marlin firmware is not actually the problem. Sprinter is also reading my hotend at 357 degrees despite it being cold as ice.

I checked online and someone had the same problem but they had accidentally reversed the thermistor connection with the hotend connection. I have double and triple checked this and it is correct. Ive even resoldered the wire. Any ideas? I think Im going to create a new threat since this is a new problem, others will have an easier time finding my solution when/if I find it

test the resistance of your thermistor with an ohm meter.

report back what it is.
