Hey!
Of course, if you isolate that pin you lose detection
.
What I do is to join the pins inside the GX12 connector.
For the T12 I join heater+TC, and for the JBC I put a resistor.
That way you can change them on the fly.
But 1M is too high.
Since the minimum output is 10uS, you need to set a resistor that can charge the capacitor (was it 1nF?) in that time, otherwise it will start bouncing.
I don't remember right now what I had put there... I think it was around 100K?
About the features, I've thinking on such menu for a long time, but as the current firmware is using almost all the flash in 64KB devices, It'll be no easy.
I might end making a v2 firmware for 128KB devices only.
For manually waking up the station from sleep state, just enable button wake in the options. Then make a click to exit sleep.
(Entering menu or selecting tips won't do it).
Yes, the cheap K sensors are very brittle. When doing calibration don't cover the whole thing with solder.
That can short the wires and cause weird readings.
I usually fix the sensor in place with tape and put the handle on the table, touching the sensor.
Then add a little blob of solder and make the whole calibration without moving anything.
And yeah, asking 220w to a 72w supply usually won't work!
Try reducing the max power on the menu, first to something low like 20w, then slowly search the limit.
That will make shorter pulses and might avoid the power supply overcurrent detection (although it may, or not, go ka-boom!
)
My Quicko has a 120w supply, the voltage ripples a lot with such loads, but everything works (goes down to 19V or so).
The stm32 supply stays clean so nothing resets.
I'm currently at the hospital for a surgery, so there won't be firmware updates for at least 2...3...4 weeks. It all depends on how it goes, wish me luck!
