Q: How to add a dummy stepper to ramps config? #10709
Comments
We already have formal support for a chamber temperature sensor. #define TEMP_SENSOR_CHAMBER 1
#define TEMP_CHAMBER_PIN 2 // Analog Input …setting |
yeah but that does not output the temp to LCD so that is why i wanted just a dummy stepper driver as a workaround to not have full chamber temp control... i can live with the symbol is a hotend I have changed the title back, reason is that i know how to configure chamber sensor and that is not what i'm after. i want to add a dummy stepper since that will allow me temp on the LCD and it will when i have the time for it also allow me to control chamber temp. using a 2nd extruder is far from perfect but its a workaround that i can live with. the only questionable part is how fast the heater for the chamber works, if its needed that is.... bed and hotend all add to the heating requirements |
"[FR] Display Chamber Temperature on LCD" |
Hmm i could go with that title. Do we have a FR for full chamber control? we do have an FR for chamber temp in display here: #973 So maybe rename this one to full chamber control ? that comes more close to what i have gotten with an extra extruder workaround thou i had to spend some of the free pins |
closing this one in the hope that one day we have true chamber control and not just a chamber temp on the serial line |

now that i got thermocouple working i wanted to "hack" in support for heated chamber
i thought: since i have a thermistor input free for a 2nd extruder that i dont use anyway why not use that to take chamber temp readings. i would only need to say i have 2 extruders and add a dummy extruder since i want to use the 2nd extruder socket for a dual z stepper setup. i added this:
i tried to use -1 for pin numbers but then compile complained that the stepper was not there, so i figured that any free pin would make do
Q: is it possible to add a dummy that do not take up any pins?
i thought why not add a 2nd heater so i dont have to change the wiring and i would just need to change pin numbers once i decide to add a heating element
i added these 2 lines:
in this section
again i would have liked to not take up any real pins before i knew that a chamber heater is needed
of course my simple thinking did not work
