Hello. I just build the “Bells & Whistles version” pwm with thermal control at http://www.cpemma.co.uk/thermal.html . The circuit doesn’t work for me and I can’t fuggier why since I don’t know much about electronics. The circuit design is correct and according to the diagram. I didn’t put the IC power connections and smoothing capacitors . I suppose this is the problem but I would like the pro’s opinion before I burn something as usual. Is the schematic complete? I plan to install this inside a Q-TEC 550 psu to control the 2 cooling fans, has any one tried it before? Were do you suggest to mount the thermistor? Thanks
Welcome to Bit, haloumis It certainly has no chance whatsoever of working without the power connections to the IC. As it says:
Thanks . I guess I should read before I start soldering . No wonder I never made something work with the first attempt.
