Digital LCD Fan Tachometer Display
Digital LCD Fan Tachometer Display
I am setting up a fermenter chamber with a PWM fan(s) controlled by the BCS. PWM fans have a fourth pin for a tachometer signal. Does anyone know of a digital tach display that can accept the PWM fan output tach signal? Also, I assume that the BCS doesn't accept tach signals and that I would need a stand alone display.
Re: Digital LCD Fan Tachometer Display
I would assume that the Tach wire is just a pulse off a hall effect sensor. You would need a microprocessor. LCD and program to read it. You can go to "https://maker.pro/arduino/tutorial/how- ... th-arduino" to get an idea of using the Hall Effect sensor that is built in to the fan.

Thanks. I'm looking at the Arctic F14 PWM case fans. I was hoping the on-board fan processor could send a conditioned signal to a simple panel-mounted LED tach display via wire to the fan TACH harness pin. If i need a microprocessor, it doesn't seem worth the bother just to know the fan RPM

Re: Digital LCD Fan Tachometer Display
Cheap enough to try. Worse you can do is blow the meter and maybe the fan. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Along those lines, why are you using PWM fans? Normal Fans under BCS Hysteresis control may do the job you want them to do.

Re: Digital LCD Fan Tachometer Display
was thinking of allowing the fans to slow roll (min RPM) when not in use at 100%. I think PWM allows that if I'm understanding the concept correctly...
