Heated Bed not working correctly after update #36

After updating printrbot simple metal. My heated bed when at temperature consistently turns on and off rapidly I can hear the relay clicking on and off on and very quickly. I did not have this issue prior to updating heated bed worked fine.

Any thoughts?

The firmware is designed to use the integrated MOSFET in the Printrboard (See this article for more:Reprap forums:Using relays for hotend and bed gives unexpected results)-- To use a relay, you have to change the config and re-compile as seen here: MarlinFirmware Issue 267
Best solution is to upgrade to an external MOSFET if you're not able to use the built in one. A standard DC SSR (Solid State Relay) such as the ubiquitous SSR-25-DD should work fine.

Ah I see. Thanks for the response. I am currently using a different power supply for my heated bed.
So I guess i have some figuring out to do.

The SSR would be a drop-in replacement for the relay in your relay. You might need a heatsink for it.
