Arduino Bootcamp Projects - Controlling a CPU Fan with Keyboard Input - Part 1

English | 14m | Video 720p

In this project, we will be controlling a CPU fan and will allow the user to utilize the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE to enter the speed of the fan.

We will also understand transistors and discuss how they work to operate as switches. It is a great project to understand pulse width modulation in Arduino as well and how it can be used to control electronic components.

 

Learning Objectives:

What is a transistor

The different ways a transistor can be used

How an npn transistor works

Using the Serial Monitor on the Arduino IDE

How to accept and process keyboard input in your Arduino programs
