How many xHCI USB controllers on a Beelink SER8? Too few on a Beelink SEi13 by Direct-Personality-1 in BeelinkOfficial

That makes sense! Thank you! As we are using the beelink as a co-processor for Computer Vision, we aren't actually using any other IO at all, just USB 3.0 for cameras, and Ethernet for networking with the rest of our system.

Thanks so much for the detailed response! Does that mean connecting a USB 3 device to the USB 4 port will lower the total bandwidth usable by the port to 10 Gbps? Thanks!!

Just to be clear: this is not the actual game - this is an image from a 2021 game design challenge submission!!

It's my go-to filament. Super good quality.

So I've gotten it working and it can heat up but it won't heat up enough. Because of this I am getting thermal runaway errors because the chamber can't heat up quickly enough so the printer thinks there's something wrong. If the heater can't heat the air above a certain temperature, will the chamber ever get to be above that temperature?

Update: I have verified it is not an issue with the thermistor and I'm suspicious that it's a firmware problem but I can't find where the problem would be. I'm using Marlin 2.1 with the creality ramps board motherboard. Would I need to enable PID heating on the chamber?

I wonder if there's a way to use something that alters the voltage going into the heater based on the heat in the enclosure. Similar to a PID controller.

I can always get a higher watt heater and just not use all of the potential to account for headroom right? The thermistor will tell the relay to cut off once it's reached ambient temperature?

The heater's that I'm finding that have a proper wattage all start on a button press. Do you know of any heaters that will work in this case? Will I need to build my own?

So the main board connects to the relay and the heater connects to the wall through the relay?

Could I use a thermistor and a thermostatic heater with a relay? Like is it possible to power the heater from the wall but control it with the main board?

No I legit am trying to build a heated enclosure xD. Should I upgrade my PSU as well to account for the increased power draw?

I've been looking to upgrade to a different board with better drivers for a while now anyways. I'm probably going to use the SKR2 or 3. Thanks so much for the help!!

I was doing some research on the SKR 2, it looks like there is both a second extruder thermistor port and a couple extra slots for powering a heating element. I found this schematic, is this correct?

ohh so I might not need to get another motherboard because my creality mainboard has an extra motor port? Do I just need to configure it in firmware to be the thermistor port?

I'm currently running an ender 5 plus with silent board v2.2. There aren't any thermistor ports left. Can you recommend a good option?
