I made this project because I wanted a way to automatically control the speed of a DC fan according to the temperature read by a LM35 sensor. I had a few problems with the PWM part mainly because the ...

Among all the Arduino boards, the Uno is most folks' go-to choice, and for good reason. It's the perfect platform to get started with Arduino, it's capable enough to handle a wide range of tasks, and ...

I was pondering possible interfaces between a microcontroller and a 12 or 24V 5015 blower fan. The challenge is that the MCU can only drive 3.3 or 5V, while the blower needs needs a voltage as low as ...

I realize I am resurrecting a rather old thread, but has there been any updates on this? I too have PWM fans I bought for a 3 year old motherboard that I thought had PWM fan headers. I can't seem to ...

Community collaboration is a great thing. Take the Arduino PWM library for shift registers. Some folks at the Arduino forum pitched in and helped [Elco] trim off a bunch of clock cycles by using the ...

I have been discussing control algorithms for a power supply and idly looking for some easy hardware on which to try the technique – hardware small enough to build into a prototype. See also: An AVR ...

Deciding between PWM and DC case fans can be confusing, but it’s important for the optimal performance of your computer. In general, PWM fans are quieter, more controllable, and more durable than DC ...

The project illustrates the control of a PC fan speed and using an Arduino microcontroller to read a LM35 temperature sensor. The use of an optocoupler is covered along with Pulse Width Modulation ...
