    Hi,
    I have built a fan system like here in the forum from splendiddd and frakk. And I added the described settings into the profiler .
    Unfortunately the fans are running permanently during the game. It is probably a problem with the setting in pololu maestro control . Maybe anyone can help me to get the correct settings for the fans. :sos:

    Many thanks

    Chris

    I'm working on mine as i speak but my control is good. Post some screenshot of your setup , both meastro settings and profiler+uso and i will help you. Can you control the fan using only the maestro software? What kind of fan are you using? Is it loud? Mine scream as hell :thbd:

    Hi Simon,
    thanks for quick response. :rofl:
    i have the same configuration like here in the Forum. I use the two recommended fans and belive me this fans are loud as well. I use the Maestro Controller and the software from the Pololu Homepage. I put my fans in two Boxes with some damping material, so the noise is reduced but it is still loud. I guess I reduced it aprox. 50%.
    Ok, I will send some screenshots to make it more visible

    Best regards
