So I think its solved. I dug into the config file and ended up commenting out the heated bed thermistor. Figured if there is no heated bed maybe pronterface might not power up if it can't find thermistor. It heated right up. So now onto my first prints. thanksby slatronic - General
I tried just connecting the resistor straight to the 12v power supply I have and it got hot in 15 sec. So I don't think its my power supply. Could it be the mosfet on the board is bad or some setting in the firmware I'm missing?by slatronic - General
I turned on pronterface, hit set heater button then measured the voltage across the heater leads and it's 0v. I removed the power resistor and I measured 12.6v. I'm not exactly sure what this means. thanksby slatronic - General
I'm a noob to this and trying to get my first printer going. The issue I'm having is the hotend doesn't seem to be heating up. I'm using a 6.8 ohm power resistor. I've checked the resistance and I measured 7 ohms across the power resistor and about 92k ohms across the thermistor. I have a Gen6 board with sprinter loaded using pronterface. Pronterface gives back temp readings of 20-30*. I'mby slatronic - General
