Using a NTC100k instead of the Pt100 temperature sensor on my Ultimaker 2

Posted · Using a NTC100k instead of the Pt100 temperature sensor on my Ultimaker 2

Dear community,

 

I am trying to get my NTC100K working on my Ultimaker 2. The problem is that I don't have any idea whether this is even possible with this temperature sensor and if so, how to do it. I spent a whole day trying to read through different forums and trying to get it to work, but until now without success. What I know is that I need to flash the marlin software on it, with a different setting for the TEMP_SENSOR. Or so I think at least. I tried using #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 8, because "8" is at least a NTC sensor (it says: 100k 0603 SMD Vishay NTCS0603E3104FXT (4.7k pullup)). But then I don't know where to connect the sensor on the motherboard and I don't know where to place the 4.7k pullup. Do I connect the sensor to where the Pt100 was before or do I have to connect it somewhere else? And in general, what exactly do I need to do, to get the sensor running, if even possible.

I am using the anycubic vyper v5 J-head hotend and its sensor.

 

I hope its not a dumb question.

Thank you in advance for your help.

        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.
