    Having the fans Right up and in YO face wasn't an option for me, and my A/C cooling Ice Cream pail setup while it works, Was is need of a replacement. Enter the Seaflow's and 3" pipes with custom splitter for 2 3" runs and a single 1.5" run. 3" threads onto the Splitter and 1.5" pops on with a little wiggling.

    Black paint job is also probably in order.

    I also have an Offering for the guys who want to run their Fans in Telemetry mode, Or at the flip of a switch and a simple 180-360deg pot, you can control them on the fly.

    This Script was from our Own @tadythefish and he's more than happy to share what he did for me.

    Pot goes on Analog 4 and the Switch on Pin 2. As seen here.

    I have a spare MM with the pins soldered on top, anyone knows how to connect with cables and not over the arduino?
    Thanks anyway!

    Ok...
    Well, just got 40 arduino cables and connected ALL the pins from de MM to the arduino.
    Gamedash id working fine (MATH in range etc), but the MM just shows 2.33v and nothing more than that, tried the original .ino from the first page, the modified one with the diff modes, and also the last one posted with the pot mod, the only one that shows a little response was the last one, that varied from 12v to 13.5, I'm testing with a panaflo server fan.
    Any clues?

    Hey guys, thanks for this cool upgrade. It will help while playing in vr, but is there a way to set the math to less than 1 because I have 2 of the seaflo 4" blowers and damn they are loud. Would love if I could turn them down, maybe 50% or 75%, not sure, but definitely too loud and too much wind for me.

    for shure. just put voltage down... its under 12-15v. put at 8-10v and your blower its under 100-120 cfm. see... https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=kWU8dYsSbNY

    Sorry, I am not near my simpit right now. But it would help if you posted your settings instead. Someone could perhaps see whats up and help more.

    When something is not working right, it is always best to post your settings so people can help (PSA for others who might read this). :)

    [QUOTE = "gorzasty, post: 87445, membro: 6742"] Olá
    Muito boa ideia com o controle do ventilador. Eu vou tentar o mais rápido possível, mas alguém pode me dizer como configurar isso? Eu baixei o código Ardu e o gamedash, mas não sei o que vem a seguir. As imagens na primeira página não aparecem;

    EDIT, ok, agora as fotos estão de volta, talvez alguma hospedagem tenha caído ... mas ainda não sei como chegar ao Editor de Comando [/ QUOTE]


    é so apertar no lapis ao lado do DASH
