Issues with both heaters

Issues with both heaters
January 12, 2013 08:33PM
I'm just commissioning the build of our printer.

Everything was going until I reached the heaters. Both are being weird.

I ran the hot-end up 50°, no worries. Set it to 205° and as it approached temp (around 170° - I think, I wasn't monitoring it at the time it went) the board reset (the fan is fed direct from the 19v PSU feed that hits the baord, and was running the whole time. I noticed the board LED went out, then came back a second later) . When it reported in again, the HE heater was back down to slightly above room temp and won't heat again. I checked the v out on the HE feeder, and I see 19v off both + pins as I would expect.

The bed is also being problematic. I set it to 85°, and the temp kept climbing. I shut everything down when it reached 115° as I don't want to risk a burn out...

The thermistors seem to be reporting in fine on both heater circuits.

Any suggestions?
