Dilshan Jayakody published a new build: In this post we describe fan controller which we designed for our 9U wall mount server cabinet. This fan controller is designed to drive a 12V DC cooler fan with pre-configured intervals or by monitoring the temperature of the server cabinet. Core components of this fan controller is CD4060 […]

Fan controller project
Lucky Resistor has written up documentation on his fan controller project: The fan controller described on this project page, controls one or more PWM controlled 12V PC fans. It uses the input from two precise DHT22 based temperature sensors. The MCU is an Arduino Uno, which is powered using a 12V power source. On top […]
App note: Reducing acoustic noise in PWM controlled fans
Microchip describes techniques to reduce acoustic noise in pulse width modulator controlled fans. One solution is to use an RC filter to decrease the slew-rate of the PWM pulses. Fan speed control extends fan service life and decreases airflow noise and average fan current. The most efficient way to implement fan speed control is to […]
