I'm trying to move a printer from legacy Marlin (1.1.8) to a more modern setup and am using the latest bugfix version.
The issue is with the AD8495 board, which uses a K-type thermocouple for the bed. I set the bed thermistor to -4 in the thermistor settings:
#defineTEMP_SENSOR_BED -4
However, when I connect to Pronterface, the temperature reads as 390°C. For reference, I'm using the Adafruit AD8495 (Adafruit product link). At around 25°C ambient, the board outputs about 1V, and when I heat the bed, the signal does increase, so the amplifier seems to be functioning correctly. I'm powering the board with 3.3V.
I've set the max bed temp temporarily high to prevent a kill command due to high bed temp readings, which I plan to fix later.
My Questions:
Pin Configuration: Do I need to define a specific pin, or should this work as a regular thermistor after amplification?
Temperature Changes: I've seen issues where people modify the temperature.cpp file, so I'm sharing the relevant line below for context:
Something odd is happening. Even if it boots (it sometimes fails due to "high temperature exceeding max temp," which I've temporarily disabled with an outrageously high value for BED_MAXTEMP), Pronterface shows a temperature of 390°C. When I heat the bed with a hairdryer, the reported temperature doesn't change at all. This makes me suspect there's a bug in the code, as I would expect some response to heating.
Bug Timeline
I don't know I haven't used this board before
Expected behavior
I would expect at least the temperature to change when I manually heat the bed up
Actual behavior
Neither the reported temperature is correct nor does it ever change in Proterface
Steps to Reproduce
Flash the board
Connect to proterface
Mark down the bed temperature
Start heating the bed with a hairdryer while checking the reported temperature in Porterface and the actuall temperature with ta temp gun actual
