<p>After much gnashing of teeth, I determined that the problem revolved around the Z-stop wire from the 40 conductor cable being connected.</p>
<p>The Sprite Pro is equipped with a 5-pin BL Touch connector. For whatever reason, having the 2-pin connector plugged into the Z-stop port causes the nozzle heater output to peg at 24 V DC.</p>

Creality Sprite Pro Immediately starts heating hotend on startup

# Creality Sprite Pro Immediately starts heating hotend on startup

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-03-04)

My Setup

Ender 3 Pro
Creality Board v4.2.7
Klipper Firmware (worked great with the stock Creality Bowden hotend and Creality Direct Drive Extruder)
Brand new Creality Sprite Pro hotend.

Wiring

I have verified that the hotend heater cartridge is wired properly. In fact, if I reverse the polarity of the hotend heater, the LCD blinks on and off as if the board is continuously rebooting.

Problem
The hotend immediately starts heating at 100% (24 V DC) on startup without any command to do so.
What I've tried

I've unplugged the hot end heater (on the Sprite Pro head) and I see 24 V DC at the board nozzle output.
If I unplug the ribbon cable on the sprite end, I see ~ 300 mV at the nozzle output.

Question
How do I stop the hot end from heating up on startup?

# If you prefer a direct serial connection, in "make menuconfig"
# select "Enable extra low-level configuration options" and select
# serial (on USART3 PB11/PB10), which is broken out on the 10 pin IDC
# cable used for the LCD module as follows:

After much gnashing of teeth, I determined that the problem revolved around the Z-stop wire from the 40 conductor cable being connected.
The Sprite Pro is equipped with a 5-pin BL Touch connector. For whatever reason, having the 2-pin connector plugged into the Z-stop port causes the nozzle heater output to peg at 24 V DC.
Updated printer.cfg
[include moonraker_obico_macros.cfg]
# This file contains pin mappings for the Creality "v4.2.7" board. To
# use this config, during "make menuconfig" select the STM32F103 with
# a "28KiB bootloader" and serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9) communication.

# If you prefer a direct serial connection, in "make menuconfig"
# select "Enable extra low-level configuration options" and select
# serial (on USART3 PB11/PB10), which is broken out on the 10 pin IDC
# cable used for the LCD module as follows:
# 3: Tx, 4: Rx, 9: GND, 10: VCC

# Flash this firmware by copying "out/klipper.bin" to a SD card and
# turning on the printer with the card inserted. The firmware
# filename must end in ".bin" and must not match the last filename
# that was flashed.

# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.
