In the above wave forms you can see that the frequency is same but on time and off time are different two applications of pwm control using arduino is shown here.
Arduino nano pwm fan control.
I had 5 laying around and thought mine as well give it a shot.
Many projects that use a temp sensor but never the most simple thing.
According to the link here.
I have been wondering about this project and how to control my 4 pin pwm fans.
The frequency values can be adjusted between 125 hz 8 mhz as well as a variable duty cycle.
How pc fans work the three wire fan uses it s third wire to provide speed feedback tacho.
Firstly make sure that you fan s are pwm controller you can check this by making sure that your fan connector has 4 wires.
4 wired fan control pwm control a pwm fan with arduino.
The rack is placed in a closed garage so the temperature range between winter and summer is pretty high and also dust could be a problem.
There is some information out there.
Pwm waves with various duty cycle are shown in the figure below.
If they are pwm take a small flat headed screwdriver and pull the pwm pin out of the fan connector by pushing the metal part on top and pulling it back.

Hi nicolas if you want to do it accurately as david says you ll need different hardware.
The circuit utilizes the mode 10 pwm phase correct on timer 1 ocr1a pin 9 and icr1 pin 10.
Pwm stands for pulse width modulation and it is a technique used in controlling the brightness of led speed control of dc motor controlling a servo motor or where you have to get analog output with digital means.
Temperature control with pid on arduino and pwm fans for diy server network rack cooling a few weeks ago i needed to setup a rack with network devices and a few servers.
For something that could perhaps work with the arduino you could build a circuit to convert the tacho output into a voltage and read it via the adc.
Led brightness control using arduino.
Control the speed of the fan.
The arduino digital pins either gives us 5v when turned high or 0v when turned low and the output is a square wave signal.
