# PWM fan
v2 Usermod to to control PWM fan with RPM feedback and temperature control
This usermod requires Dallas Temperature usermod to obtain temperature information. If this is not available the fan will always run at 100% speed.
If the fan does not have _tacho_ (RPM) output you can set the _tacho-pin_ to -1 to not use that feature.
You can also set the thershold temperature at which fan runs at lowest speed. If the actual temperature measured will be 3°C greater than threshold temperature the fan will run at 100%.
If the _tacho_ is supported the current speed (in RPM) will be repored in WLED Info page.
## Installation
Add the compile-time option `-D USERMOD_PWM_FAN` to your `platformio.ini` (or `platformio_override.ini`) or use `#define USERMOD_PWM_FAN` in `myconfig.h`.
You will also need `-D USERMOD_DALLASTEMPERATURE`.
### Define Your Options
All of the parameters are configured during run-time using Usermods settings page.
This includes:
* PWM output pin
* tacho input pin
* sampling frequency in seconds
* threshold temperature in degees C
_NOTE:_ You may also need to tweak Dallas Temperature usermod sampling frequency to match PWM fan sampling frequency.
### PlatformIO requirements
No special requirements.
