[drupal=507]Arduino Tutorial: Reading PC Fan RPM. Part 1.[/drupal]


By Charles Gantt ( Oneslowz28 )

With case mods getting more and more complex every day, it's no surprise that we have begun to see custom electronics and micro controllers being integrated into them. The most prevalent micro controller board we are seeing integrated is the Arduino. I have written a tutorial, with the help of Crenn, on reading PC fan RPM with an Arduino. In Part 1 I describes how to connect the fan to the Arduino and ouput the fans RPM to the serial console. So head on over to the MicroCentral section and check out the complete tutorial.
