Lüfter sind laut und nervig – aber auch nicht so ganz unwichtig. Praktischerweise kann man PC-Lüfter recht einfach selbst nutzen. Schauen wir mal, welche Arten von Lüftern es so gibt und wie man diese per Arduino auslesen und steuern kann.

Korrekturen & Hinweise

• 10:58 OZI und Arduino haben über USB den selben GND
• 13:22 FALLING wäre bei diesem Signal besser
• 16:25 Laut Spezifikation sind 21-28kHz zulässig
