Smoothieboard hates my heated bed (and I don't know why)

Controllers Smoothie
1

-brand new smoothieboard 4x
-Mk 2 heated bed with cork plate underneath
-plug in thermister and power to board
-pronterface does not pick up the thermistor (ie: reads 0 for temp)
so that’s my problem…any help would be appreciated, printing a school project and cold beds suck

Hey.

Can we see your configuration file on pastebin.com, a short description of what you plugged where, and the exact output of M105 ?

Cheers :slight_smile:

Why do you have a w there ?

Also, can you give me a description of what you plugged where, as I asked in the previous message ?

I plugged in the heat bed thermistor to T1 and the Heated bed power to P2_5

6

Can you try using T2 instead of T0 ( change config accordingly ) ?

Just realized I had temperature control bed set to " false". I set it to true and now everything works perfectly

not sure why I have the W there, I have deleted it and it still doesn’t work…
