12V Brushless DC Fan - 4010 Pinout Guide
The 12V Brushless DC Fan - 4010 is a high-performance fan designed for various IoT applications, including cooling systems, ventilation systems, and more. This guide provides a comprehensive explanation of the fan's pins, their functions, and connection instructions.
Pinout Diagram:
The 12V Brushless DC Fan - 4010 has a standard 3-pin JST connector. The pinout diagram is as follows:
| Pin Number | Pin Function | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | VCC | Positive Power Supply (12V) |
| 2 | GND | Ground (Negative Power Supply) |
| 3 | PWM | Pulse-Width Modulation (Speed Control) |
Pin-by-Pin Explanation and Connection Guide:
1. VCC (Pin 1):
Function: Positive Power Supply (12V)
Description: This pin connects to the positive terminal of the power source, providing 12V DC power to the fan.
Connection: Connect to a 12V DC power source (e.g., a battery or a power supply module) using a suitable wire or connector.
2. GND (Pin 2):
Function: Ground (Negative Power Supply)
Description: This pin connects to the negative terminal of the power source, providing a ground reference for the fan.
Connection: Connect to the negative terminal of the 12V DC power source (e.g., a battery or a power supply module) using a suitable wire or connector.
3. PWM (Pin 3):
Function: Pulse-Width Modulation (Speed Control)
Description: This pin controls the fan speed using pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals. A PWM signal with a higher duty cycle will increase the fan speed, while a lower duty cycle will decrease the fan speed.
Connection:
+ To control the fan speed using a microcontroller or a dedicated PWM controller, connect the PWM pin to the corresponding PWM output pin on the controller.
+ If you want to run the fan at its maximum speed, you can connect the PWM pin to the VCC pin (Pin 1).
Important Notes:
When connecting the fan to a power source, ensure the voltage is within the recommended range of 12V DC.
Use suitable wire or connectors to connect the fan to the power source and control circuits to prevent damage or electrical shock.
To avoid damage, do not reverse the polarity of the power connections (VCC and GND).
When controlling the fan speed using PWM, ensure the PWM signal frequency is within the recommended range for the specific fan model.
By following this pinout guide and connection instructions, you can successfully integrate the 12V Brushless DC Fan - 4010 into your IoT project.

### Example 1: Basic Fan Control with Arduino

This example demonstrates how to connect and control the fan using an Arduino board.

```c++
const int fanPin = 9;  // PWM pin for speed control

void setup() {
  pinMode(fanPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Set fan speed to 50% (adjust value between 0 and 255 for different speeds)
  analogWrite(fanPin, 128);
  delay(1000);

// Turn off the fan
  digitalWrite(fanPin, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}
```

### Example 2: Fan Control with Raspberry Pi (Python)

This example shows how to control the fan using a Raspberry Pi and Python.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Define the fan pin
fan_pin = 18

# Set up the fan pin as an output
GPIO.setup(fan_pin, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        # Set fan speed to 50% (adjust value between 0 and 100 for different speeds)
        GPIO.PWM(fan_pin, 50).start(50)
        time.sleep(1)

# Turn off the fan
        GPIO.output(fan_pin, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```

Important Notes

Before using the fan, ensure that the power supply can provide the required voltage and current.
 When using PWM for speed control, the maximum frequency should not exceed 25 kHz to avoid motor damage.
 The fan's operating temperature range should be considered when designing the application to ensure reliable operation.
