Heater decoupled when trying to use Dual Extrusion

Everything seems to work fine with a single filament print. When choosing to print something with both extruders it will heat the HE then rehome and say Heater Decoupled.
Really have no idea where to go from here. The only thing I find for this issue is people with bad fuses and such. Which is not the issue as it works without issue when doing single filament.

A few questions:
1) What's the date on the firmware you are using?
2) What are you slicing the print in?
3) Can you post the first 20 (or so) lines of gcode of the file you are trying to print?

1)20170328
2) I'm using Matterslice through matter control. Was going to try cura... but it refuses to change the zoffset..... sorry sidetracked there.

Is there a chance your firmware is configured for traditional fully-independent dual extrusion with two heaters and two thermistors?

Not sure honestly. Other than choosing "Share Temperature" which I did and it leaves you with one HE visible, I haven't seen anything else that would lead to that conclusion. I had originally thought the same and started to look around for anything that mentioned it.

One last thing. Post the top of your configuration.h file for your firmeware - everything above the warning not to mess with stuff (about the first 33 lines)

Is there a way to access this of the firmware on it already, or do I simply take it from the firmware file I used to flash to it?

Take it from the firmware you used to flash it
