Reassigning nozzle thermistor port to T1

Greetings all,

I've got a Prusa Mk3 Im working on for a customer.

The printer is throwing a MINTEMP error.  The thermistor wiring is damaged near the nozzle, MINTEMP error is no surprise.  I swap the thermistor out for a new one, still getting MINTEMP error.  It appears that the thermistor and heater wires became frayed, and it's likely the T0 port on the board was shorted to +12V.  It seems the port itself is damaged.

Before replacing the board, I would like to try using the T1 port, similar to this post:  https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/edit-mk3s-firmware-to-use-different-thermistor-port/

The OP apparently got it done but didn't include enough detail to replicate the results.

The line I think I need to change is in the file pins_Rambo_1_3.h, line 53

#define TEMP_0_PIN 0
to
#define TEMP_0_PIN 1
This is a guess, could someone more familiar than me confirm?

Hello and welcome to the Prusaforum!

Before you change anything on the hardware, I would check all wires (thermistor, heating cartridge) for loose contacts or short circuits, also connectors.
A master reset (printer factory reset) can often work wonders.

good luck 🖐️ !

Sorry for necroposting, but this topic appears in Google search at the top so i figured i will share the solution here since i had the same problem. to do this, download the firmware from the github repo, then open the pins_Einsy_1_0.h, pins_Rambo_1_0.h or pins_Rambo_1_3.h file depending on what firmware you want to compile, and change the "#define TEMP_0_PIN 0" row. default is in fact 0 that indicates the t0 port on the board, modify it to "#define TEMP_0_PIN 1" then follow the instruction for compiling the firmware normally and you will have the hotend thermistor read on the t1 port of your board
