Heat bed not showing up on LCD

Ok, I just finished my heat bed install. May problem is now that everything is hooked up. I only see the 2 extruder temps on the lcd and not the bed. This is even when I have it hooked up to the computer I do not see the bed. The only way I can get the bed to work is installing the firmware for a single extruder. It then will show up on the lcd and on the computer under manual control. I’ve also installed both the older and newer double extruder and that doesn’t make a difference either. I’m stuck.

Could you post a version of your configure.h file for us from the 2 head firmware you tried to use.

If this is what you mean.

M1-V1.4-H1 and M1-V1.1-H1 This worked, but I can only use 1 extruder.

M1-V1.1-H2 and M1-V1.4-H2 This did not work.

yes i know. Didnt you alter anything in the configure.h file for the heatbed and the termistor? If not then you need to change some things. The firmware dont have heatbed configured correctly in it by default.

I changed this #define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 5 to this #define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1 . Maybe it didn’t load correctly. I’ll try it again tonight when I get home from work.

I reloaded the firmware again with another computer and it worked.

Nice :slight_smile:
