    I need to have some sane values to add to the Configuration.h. Can anyone who has an E3Dv6 or Hexagon run the following command from a terminal window connected to their printer.

    M303 E0 S200 C8

    It must be executed with a cold hotend, it will bring the hotend up to 200°C then cycle around it 8 times. It only takes about 3 minutes to run. In the end it will spit out three number they will be marked Kp, Ki and Kd. If you can please include what hotend (E3D or Hexagon) and heater you have (red wired 40W, blue wires 25W), it would be helpful.

    Should also be noted the hexagon uses a 25W heater with red wires.
