<p>We are using the Board SKR 1.3 with the following pins:</p>

<pre><code>/**
 * Trinamic Stallguard pins
 */
#define X_DIAG_PIN           P1_29   // X-
#define Y_DIAG_PIN           P1_27   // Y-
#define Z_DIAG_PIN           P1_25   // Z-
#define E0_DIAG_PIN          P1_28   // X+
#define E1_DIAG_PIN          P1_26   // Y+
</code></pre>

<p>We need a double Z motor, so We have defined the number of stepper drivers to 2 and it works like a charm:</p>

<pre><code>#define NUM_Z_STEPPER_DRIVERS 2
</code></pre>

<p>Here is the problem, We need to have a single extruder with <strong>two heating zones</strong>, not a real second extruder. We have defined the number of extruders to 2:</p>

<pre><code>#define EXTRUDERS 2
</code></pre>

<p>We want to reinforce that the second extruder does not exist, we only need the <strong>second heating zone</strong>. It's a big hotend with two different heating cartridges, that is, two different temperatures. So we do not need the stepper driver, only the temperature.
Then we get the following error messages:</p>

<p>We have thought of enabling the chamber and use it's pin, but we got stuck with all the structure for it:</p>

<pre><code>#define TEMP_SENSOR_CHAMBER 5
</code></pre>

<pre><code>#define CHAMBER_MAXTEMP  250  // Extruder first temperature zone
</code></pre>

<pre><code>#define HEATER_CHAMBER_PIN 24
</code></pre>

The heated chamber will not be accurate enough due to lack of PID tuning. As a result, the temp will differ up to 10 degrees celsius when the heater is on. Is a big difference that will either not dry your filament enough or in the worst scenario will melt it. You will need to enable other features in order to bypass the issue. Find below how I enabled the 2nd heater element with the exact same setup as yours. You need to define the following:</p>\n<pre><code>#define EXTRUDERS 2\n</code></pre>\n<hr />\n<p>On the following part you must change the <code>SERVO_NR</code> to <code>-1</code> otherwise you will face issues in case you are using a BLTouch, for example:</p>\n<pre><code>// A dual extruder that uses a single stepper motor\n#define SWITCHING_EXTRUDER\n#if ENABLED(SWITCHING_EXTRUDER)\n  #define SWITCHING_EXTRUDER_SERVO_NR -1 \n  #define SWITCHING_EXTRUDER_SERVO_ANGLES { 0, 90 } // Angles for E0, E1[, E2, E3]\n  #if EXTRUDERS &gt; 3\n    #define SWITCHING_EXTRUDER_E23_SERVO_NR 1\n  #endif\n#endif\n\n// A dual-nozzle that uses a servomotor to raise/lower one (or both) of the nozzles\n#define SWITCHING_NOZZLE\n#if ENABLED(SWITCHING_NOZZLE)\n  #define SWITCHING_NOZZLE_SERVO_NR -1\n  //#define SWITCHING_NOZZLE_E1_SERVO_NR 1          // If two servos are used, the index of the second\n  #define SWITCHING_NOZZLE_SERVO_ANGLES { 0, 90 }   // Angles for E0, E1 (single servo) or lowered/raised (dual servo)\n#endif\n\n-----------------------------\n\n#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 1\n\n-----------------------------\n</code></pre>\n<p>And finally, you must <code>#define PID_PARAMS_PER_HOTEND</code> in order to be able to PID tuning the 2nd heater which will be used for your inline filament dryer.</p>\n'}]
