Hello,

 

Got some ER35/I2C Error.

 

Looking at https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011575200, it could be in the feeder or more likely in the print head.

 

As an electronic engineer, I could say that I2C bus should be ONLY used for intra-card communication and should NEVER be used to communicate with remote devices, especially in area with motors... There is plenty of low cost solution available : differential TTL, RS232/485, or best CAN bus.

 

According to the boot log I have a problem with the LM75B (temperature sensor). Where is it?
 

Thanks

    Have you followed the linked support article? I had an issue once because the cable of a feeder wasn’t properly connected (or probably came loose during transport or vibrations during use) what led to highjacking the whole printer and giving a motion system error. After reseating the cable everything worked fine (and still does). I guess everything is connected to the same I2C bus, so a loose connector could easily corrupt the whole bus. It gave me a bit of a hint for a while before because it randomly threw feeder errors  (making me disable the filament sensors).

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
