Peripherals

There is a 5V DC brushless motor fan connected to a transistor. The arduino switches the transistor with 3.3V which connects GND and GND of the fan. It uses PWM to control the speed of the fan.

Problems

  • The fan rpm is not linear to the speed selected in the UI.
  • The fan makes buzzing sound at some low speeds
