Usage
- Upload the code to your Arduino Uno using
make upload - Open the serial monitor using
make monitor - Adjust the potentiometer to control fan speed in Auto mode
- Use serial commands to configure the system (see Serial Commands section)
Build and Upload
This project uses a Makefile for easy building and uploading. The Makefile automatically creates a Python virtual environment and installs PlatformIO.
Available Commands
make setup- Create virtual environment and install PlatformIOmake build- Build the project (default target)make upload- Build and upload firmware to devicemake monitor- Open serial monitor (115200 baud)make clean- Clean build files
Serial Commands
Commands can be sent via the serial monitor at 115200 baud.

Questions
How big is the Fan controller with ch PCB?
It measures 60 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Fan controller with ch use?
51 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, CH340B, USBLC6-4 and TPS3808G50DBV. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Fan controller with ch KiCad files?
From the ferrybig/70w-fan-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Fan controller_with_ch.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Fan controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Fan controller with ch design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ferrybig before reusing the design.
