G+_Spudz Productions Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 If you want I can make you a quick video of how to wire this up on a solderless breadboard and explain the theory of how the chip works in layman's terms. I've been using that chip for all sorts of things not just timing but as logic control and switching. I'll keep you posted when the video gets done.

G+_David Wiggins Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 If you have access to scrap electronics, you may be able to find several 555 chips. Those things are practically everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 David Wiggins True. I am IT for a school department, and we have tons of equipment waiting to get recycled. I'm sure I could find something in the piles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Spudz Productions Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Quick thought if you want to skip all the technical jargon maybe just get a fan with a thermal sensor built into it like this one: ebay.com - Details about Nidec Beta V #TA350DC (model M35172-57) The temperature sensor is that little blue thing sticking out in front of the blades. Just plug it straight into power and be done with it. I only said to use a 555 because I thought you wanted to tinker and maybe learn something. Up to you and good luck.

G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks for the link. I'll check it out tonight. For a few hours this morning I was searching through some ideas with Arduino and temp sensors... may go that route, that way, like you said, I'd learn something. I can use that thermo fan as a last resort, but I really appreciate the help...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Question: I was going to do this build... but if the fan is a 12V, but the Arduino is powered by 9V (and the recommended power adapter is 9V), can I actually run the fan? electrosome.com - Temperature Controlled Fan using Arduino - Hobby Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ken Jancef I'd expect the fan to still run with 9v, just not full speed. That may be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ben Reese I would think that would be ok. I'd just be sucking heat out of my enclosure. Right now with how I have it set up, the fan isn't on full-speed and it cools it well. I just didn't want to fry anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
