| 228619 | 2004-04-12 10:39:00 | Maybe I have missed something here, but if you are going to leave all the fans running all the time, why do you need an fan controller? What is it going to control? | Andrew B (867) | ||
| 228620 | 2004-04-12 11:04:00 | Well i'd like to monitor all the fans, or maybe get em to speed up and down. I never thought I'd slap a fan in to not use it. I also want to monitor lots of temperatures, which, i may add, these fan controllers do. So what i really need is an lcd screen - but i'll buy a Fan controller, they're cooler. :D |

| 228622 | 2004-04-12 21:15:00 | The other thing you can do with simple on/off control systems is to add some lag (hysteresis if you like as godfather said), this can be electrical or mechanical. For simple temperature controllers, if you dont mind less precise control of a set temperature, is to increase the thermal mass of the temperature sensor, so that it takes longer to respond in either warming or cooling. Put the sensor inside a small block of metal for example. |
