M305 Changes in 1.17 - Clarification

M305 Changes in 1.17 - Clarification
November 28, 2016 06:39AM
I was just reading the release notes for the 1.17 dev 4 and see there is change to the M305 defaults in the warnings. I just wanted to check that I understand this correctly.

I have a reprappro kit so I currently set this in my config.g -

M305 P1 R4700 ; Hot End


After upgrading to 1.17 I'll need to amend this to the following?

M305 P1 R4700 B4138 C0; Hot End


Just checking as I don't see the C parameter in the Gcode wiki?

I've only ever seen the C parameter mentioned on the E3D wiki pages here for the Setup firmware section of the E3D-v6 Assembly.

Edit the M305 P1 command in file sys/config.g on the SD card (you can do this in the web interface).

- For firmware versions 1.16 and earlier, set the B parameter (beta value) to 4388. This value gives better accuracy at typical printing temperatures in the range 190 to 250C than the B value of 4267 quoted in the datasheet.

- For firmware versions 1.17 and later, set the B parameter to 4719 and the C parameter to 7.08e-8.

Restart the electronics to process the new config.g file.

Yes that is correct. The C parameter defaults to zero anyway. Honeywell doesn't publish a resistance-temperature table for that thermistor, so I can't work out the B and C values that would give greater accuracy.
