Partial Answer Cold Bed Temp Issues

I just got my R1+ today and have a couple of successful prints however I am running into an issue with the heated bed.

The bed is room temperature (cold) and is reading 80 to 84 degrees Celsius in mattercontrol. The default for the PLA is 50 so when I preheat or ask to print, the program will wait indefinitely until the temp drops which it will never will. My only option is to set the temp higher before preheat in which it will climb higher however the bed remains cool to the touch and then print will start. My other option is to disable the heated bed feature in options which will let me start the print as well.

Any thoughts?

 

If i raise the temp to 100c it will warm up and stay there however it wont drop below 80 even cold and idle. Something must be wrong because at 100c I can touch the bed without it scolding but its nice and warm.

 

Checked and everything seems to be intact. I think it might be the arduino according to my google search. i can't link to the web Pages I found with someone with a similar issue. I'm afraid I am going to have to go through a return or service since the temperature readings have been off since day one.
