Disable temperature protection on Marlin

Hi,

I would like make some test, and i have to disable the temperature protection(i want just move axis to check if all is ok)
I have always this error on pronterface:
Extruder switched off. MINTEMP triggered !
Errorrinter stopped deu to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart!. (Temperature is reset. Set it before restarting)

I would like disable the the MINTEMP on Marlin to make test.
I tried without success.
Have you got any idea which variable i have to modified?

regards,

Wavemill

Wavemill,

I am getting the same error.

Error:
: Extruder switched off. MINTEMP triggered !
Error: Printer halted. kill() called !!

In Marlin you can edit CONFIGURATION_H
Find this area and change # 6 to 0

Original:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 6 // Extruder
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 6 // Hot Bed

I can make this change and able to move all axis, load a file and use the print command.
The extruder will not operate.

Edited:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 0 // Extruder
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 6 // Hot Bed

The research I have done says there is a short somewhere with the extruder thermistor or wiring.
Not able to not find one.
I have tried attaching a spare thermistor directly to the board for testing and still fails.

I have built a Prusa i2 using Pronterface, Printrboard revD and Marlin firmware.
Have tried 2 Printrboard RevD and both fail.

Anyone have any Ideas??


Thanks, Dennis

Hi,

I am using RAMPS 1.4 Board for my project, which does not need a thermistor or even a hot end extruder. I want to check my stepper motors now. I am using the Marlin firmware, and getting the message " Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. ( Temperature is Reset . Set it after restarting )


I have tried the following change in the firmware

Original:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 6 // Extruder
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 6 // Hot Bed



Edited:
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 0 // Extruder
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 6 // Hot Bed

But the compiler shows some error when compiling.

Arduino: 1.5.6-r2 (Windows 8), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

How can i solve the problem?

The LCD code presumes you have a hotend and thermistor.... you could spend days looking for the code to hack... and then have to re hack it when you upgrade your firmware next time.

OR

Just put a 100K resistor over the thermistor pins and set the thermistor type to 1.

Printer will thinks its 25C always.

As long as you don’t send it any temperature gcode it will work fine. Of course if you tell it to heat up it will happily sit there waiting for it to heat up for ever.

(NB im a hardware guy, so I see hardware based solutions, it may be easy to change the software, if its your thing)

You could use the dummy tables, they're shown at the bottom of the list right above where you set the temp_sensors.

Hi Mr. Dust,

Thanks for your replay.

My project is not a 3D printer. Its more likely a CNC machine, can you guide me to a link where I can get firmware and softwares for CNC s?

Hi Mr. stephenrc,

Thanks for your replay.

I couldn't find a table in configuration.h tab.

I would recommend using 998:

#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 998 // Extruder
#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 998 // Hot Bed

which always give 25 deg.

Hi Mr. bobc,

I tried your recommendation, but it is not working on my Arduino IDE. The error code is

Arduino: 1.5.6-r2 (Windows 8), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

Build options changed, rebuilding all

temperature.cpp:144: error: 'temptable_998' was not declared in this scope
temperature.cpp:145: error: 'temptable_998' was not declared in this scope
temperature.cpp:145: error: 'temptable_998' was not declared in this scope

temperature.cpp:653: error: 'temptable_998' was not declared in this scope
temperature.cpp:666: error: 'temptable_998' was not declared in this scope

for cnc you should consider [github.com]

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

A year latter and that still doesn’t work if you enable a lcd... the lcd assumes that there is a thermistor.

The error message has been updated to "#error "TEMP_SENSOR_0 is required."

Marlin Sketch: Configuration.h
Line 271
Default #define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 170
Change #define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 0

Make sure to reset back to the default setting when finished testing.

I set my heatbed and extruder to 998, (Merlin 1.1.5), and I show 25C for both on graphics LCD, and I haven't seen a temp error since!
Never saw compile errors.
