    Hi guys

    I'm in need of a fan controller, and I am looking for a solution which uses a thermal sensor to ajust the fan speed. Alternatively a diy fanmate (in denmark, they cost 39 dkr each, and cost 59 dkr to ship = 17.5 us dollars total) will do.

    I have access to a soldering iron, and all parts from farnell.com can be ordered for this mini project.



    Do you have any ideas, as i'm a newbie to designing electronics? - they need to control regular case fans - appox 4 in total.

    thank you in advance:thumb:

    Edit:

    All suggestions welcome!

    The DIY fanmate. It's actually better than the Zalman circuit which does not include the two stabilising caps C1, C2.

    You'll find some thermal controls too. ;)
