Warm SOC when idling #100

Open dewi-ny-je opened 3 weeks ago

Since the board fan is active only when stepper_x and stepper_y are active, on idle the SOC gets quite warm.

My proposal:

[controller_fan board_fan]
pin:U_1:PC4
max_power:1.0
shutdown_speed:1.0
cycle_time:0.01
fan_speed: 0.6
**idle_speed: 0.3**
stepper:stepper_x,stepper_y

It could be 0.20 as well, not needed 30%. This will ensure continuous cooling of the SOC with very limited noise and effective cooling during print.

Not only that but the stepper motors on the bottom of the printer are always ultra hot at idle... I tried lowering the hold_current from .5 to .25 and it didn't improve by much... why are the stepper motors running current and so hot during idle after timeout? (changed timeout to 600 secs).

Thank you for your feedback, but don't worry, 60℃ is the normal working temperature for SOC, which will not affect its performance and life.
