So I’ve got a couple of Mini PC’s and a ODROID H4+ as a NAS, all just standing on my desk at the moment.
I’m going to build them into a 10" Rack and I’d like to have a good cooling solution.
My idea is to buy something like this https://www.alternate.nl/Noctua/NA-FH1-fancontroller/html/product/1917195 And wire it up with a ESP32 board and temperature probes, so that I can connect it all to a dashboard in Home Assistant.
Any advice on this project, or better alternatives would be appreciated.
I think pretty much any mosfet / h-bridge / motor control board with pwm should do.
If you have those 4-wire fans with a pwm input that accepts 3V3 logic, you might even be able to attach them directly to the ESP:
But that’s not all fans, I had some mixed results with that.
