• Control pin

Steps

1. Connect the fan to the Arduino control pin
2. Connect the resistor between the control pin and the fan (check the datasheet)
3. Connect the potentiometer connector to the resistor
4. Write the Arduino sketch to regulate the fan speed
5. Check that the fan turns on and off correctly
6. Adjust the fan speed using the potentiometer
7. Check that the fan works correctly at different speeds
8. Install the fan in the desired project

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  analogWrite(9, 128); // Imposta la velocità della ventola
}

Mini project

Create a cooling system for your 3D printer. Connect the fan to the back of the printer and adjust the fan speed based on the device’s temperature.

Common mistakes

• Connect the fan directly to the power pin without a resistor
• Use the wrong resistor
• Do not properly adjust the fan speed
• Do not check that the fan works correctly at different speeds

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• 3D printer case
• Digital thermometer
• Connector kit
