I have a SEMITEC 104NT-4-R025H42G screw in type thermistor on my hotend.

I dont see that on the thermistor table to select so I used type 5 104GT-2 with Marlin 1.18

Googleing about a bit I am pretty sure they dont have the same curve.

I was wondering if there is a way to use the Steinhart Hart algorythm to input the curve as I have found all that data:

104NT-4R025H42G

I for Steinhart Hart 0.000797110609710217F
J for Steinhart Hart 0.000213433144381270F
K for Steinhart Hart 6.5338987554e-08F

Thanx in advance

8 bit machines to slow to do the maths real time.... thus they use tables

you can generate your own table see [github.com]

ok, that looks like it will take some learning

If you generate (and add) a table... Try to be smart about the range of values and the spacing. Marlin does a sequential, linear search from the end of the table. So just a few values at the higher temperatures. And then some closer spacing of values near the normal print temperatures.

Can anyone lend a hand? I know zip about python.

I have installed "IDLE" and cut/pasted the script from that link into a file but when I tell IDLE to check module via ALT-X I get a syntax error ?!?

see attached snip plz

Thanx

P.S. useing IDLE ver 2.7.14 I will install and try ver 3.x now tho....

Tried Python 3.6.4 and got a different error.



This error when I research it makes me think that I should be using Python 2 but that loops me back to the first issue with Python.....

Ok, started from scratch on a different PC and it worked.

now I am lost at how to input the data I have been able to glean from Google into this script...

104NT-4R025H42G

I for Steinhart Hart 0.000797110609710217F
J for Steinhart Hart 0.000213433144381270F
K for Steinhart Hart 6.5338987554e-08F

The script as far as I can tell is looking for this info:

t1 = 25 # low temperature in Kelvin (25 degC)
r1 = 100000 # resistance at low temperature (10 kOhm)
t2 = 150 # middle temperature in Kelvin (150 degC)
r2 = 1641.9 # resistance at middle temperature (1.6 KOhm)
t3 = 250 # high temperature in Kelvin (250 degC)
r3 = 226.15 # resistance at high temperature (226.15 Ohm)
rp = 4700; # pull-up resistor (4.7 kOhm)
num_temps = 36; # number of entries for look-up table

I dont see any I-J or K values lol ;P

maybe I should just get out a thermometer a multi-meter and a lighter and give it my best shot

DONT use a lighter... approx 1970C , will damage thermistor.

according to this page type 1 is close enough

I was kidding

dang it after all that work I was really hopeing to use that script

But thanx I will try type 1

I found it!!!!

I don't think type 1 would have been very accurate, would have worked but been out a fair bit much like the type 5 I have been using.

now to work out how to put this info into marlin.....

Can someone plz take a look at this and tell me if I did this right?

I attached an Excel sheet of the info below as formatting doesn't look right on a cut paste from Excel....
The table creator I found was setup to make the table for every 5 deg but the data I had was every 10 deg so I adapted.
Will this be a problem?
Now how to use this......

Do I just cut paste over an existing thermistor table and use the # of that table in my config?

Thanx in advance

will the following work? I plan to replace thermistortable_8.h with this and adjust a few other files to reflect the different thermistor name that table 8 will now be.
