Assembly instructions
The fan controller is a single transistor wired as a Miller integrator that effectively multiplies the capacitor value by the gain of the transistor.
It converts the PWM signal on GPI4 to a stead DC voltage so that the fan doesn't whine, or stutter.
- Make two track cuts as shown, one wide and the other narrow.
- Add the SMT compeonents and then the wire links.
- Add more solder around the transistor to act as a heatsink.
