    I use a Adafruit to control my fan for wind simulation in NL 2 Rollercoaster but the fan pulls 3 amp and the shield got overheated. I created a setup with the BTS7960 shield to handle high voltage and more amp's.

    Fan 12 volt
    Powersupply 12 volt
    BTS7960
    Ardunio Nano

    At very low speed the fan can make a high frequency noise. Your dog will get crazy. I am using the Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM, 120mm. Which is pretty ok.

    Load the code and select the Arduino board. Open the serial monitor.

    Sent S255 the fan must start spinning a full speed, maybe better to start with S050. To stop use S000. Start Simtools 3 and configure the interface and the output settings.
    Make sure that you set the Temetry settings, output settings to the right values in the NL2 startup. Depending on the fan you have to adjust the Math * X value.
