Ignore the Nay-bobs (or stupid [expletive deleted]s of you prefer), it a fine piece of work.

And who would that be? No one slagging his work, just requests for more info. :shrug:

Don't mind me just cleaning up this thread. Stay on topic nay-bobs :)

Don't have to stop there your can go through my and Dr's tissy fit if you want.

On topic can anyone else access the guys site? I finally have time to read the article and I can't access it. :( I also just bought a computer case with a built in fan controller for one fan. Kinda nice... Might want to try this one out to.

Not only can I not get to the site but the pics in the first post don't show up. Refresh or clear your temp files and try again. :shrug:

Hummm, works fine on my other ISP. Maybe found away to get my IP and banned it from the server? Did ping it from the other ISP and it worked fine though. :shrug: Oh well works fine now. :D

The USB chip is made Cypress, not Cyress.

but your thingie has a some usefull features like <1000rpm fan monitoring.

oh, and for power consumption, 300W continously for a not extremly OC-ed (no LN2/refigerator/peltier) computer is realy high.

oh, thank you. I have correct this mistake :).

If someone are not able to connect to my website and want to get the "HowTo built this Fan-Control", please simply send me a email to "rg256@gmx.de" with subjekt "HowTo Fan-Control" and i will send you the full archive containing a screenshot of my website, all plans and the HowTo.

Thank you, keiang.

jaydee116, DrMemory, would you two please take it out side?

Good gosh, find a quite spot and beat each other senseless already and spare the rest of us.

keiang, my sister in law, bablefish, and I are working on a english traslation of your PDF file. I'll drop you a PM when (if) we finish.

Paul.

[/Obligtory On Topic Content]

No. Posts can be deleted at anytime by pH. I careless. Dr want to act superior with useless input then that is fine by me I will add my counter useless input. At least I admit it.

On topic. How many people are actualy going to attempt to build this thing? And those that do post back with the completetd working version? Doubt few will.

hello PaulDriver,
many thanks for your work :). If you like i can send you the pdf file as a text-document. This makes it maybe easier to translate with babelfish etc. What is your email?

A "small" update of the project:

1.) Instead of a normal Text-LCDs (HD44780 etc.) also a graphics LCD can be connected now, with that some more information can be indicated at the same time. I used a GLCD with the controller "T6963C" (240 * 64 pixel) here.

Here is a short video: Video of the GLCD (press button "Auf gehts" to start download)
Description of the GLCD: Regulation with GLCD

2.) The software for Windows is now also almost ready. At this time all dates of the regulation can be indicated and adapted (temperature-, fan-, regulation dates as well as all configuration data: temperature limits, sensor-fan config, etc.).
As next a small interface comes for the software "Samurize" www.samurize.com included, with that everyone can represent the dates graphical likes he want to.
You find a precise description and even further information here: Windows Software

http://www.keiang.de/modules/PCcool/software_1.1_1.GIF

The most important enlargement is to be let indicate all dates in a diagram. With that one gets a very good overlooks about the regulation behavior and with that whether all attitudes are correct.
The diagram can be stored if required with a right click as a graphics file.

3.) With this enlargement bigger fans (>2W) or several can be connected at the same time. in total 6 fans with each 10 W can be connected.

Thaks for the update, keiang.

I'm in the middle of setting up my display, and this will come in handy.

that's pretty nice, I could use somthing like that. I think I'll build one too, pm ya.

Yes please send me a pm, than i can give you more information...

Re: digital temperature/fan-control wirch LCD for PC, selfmade
 

Just a short update of this project. I have added support of a new graphic LCD:

graphic LCD during operation ( all data scrolling from down to upward ):

on this graphic LCD I have tested now a diagram function:

Re: digital temperature/fan-control wirch LCD for PC, selfmade
 

That's is so sweet!
I might have to build it.

Re: digital temperature/fan-control wirch LCD for PC, selfmade
 

Ok here are now a final update of this project.

I have reworked the hole Windows Software V1.8 and added many new feature.

http://www.keiang.de/modules/PCcool/...re_18_2_sm.JPG

http://www.keiang.de/modules/PCcool/...re_18_9_sm.JPG



I have finished 2 extension for this project:

- "8 channel light control" -> "8 channel light control"
- "Emergency shutdown / alarm output / pump check" -> "emergency shutdown"


extension: "8 channel light control"
http://www.keiang.de/modules/PCcool/PIC02616_sm.JPG

- With this extension can 8 additional light channels manages and to be programmed own light sequences. Here a short sample movie: light sequence. ( to start download click button "starte download" )
- it can be also showed the speed of a fan as bar graph or as a binary value
- alle settings can be done in windows software:

extension: "Emergency shutdown / alarm output / pump check"
http://www.keiang.de/modules/PCcool/PIC02603_sm.JPG

The emergency shutdown works in this case not over the Windows software but ove the connection "power switch" of the main board. Through that the emergency shutdown is independently of Windows and works much more secure with that.

- With this extension the PC can in the alarm case shutdown or completly switch off.
- In Addition there is another relay with that on the extension an additional fan or a pump in the alarm case can be activated.


In the case of following alarms the emergency shutdown is activated:
- temperature of a sensor rise over the defined value ( overtemp. )
- a temperature sensor turned out
- rate of a pump or flow sensor lies under the defined value or completely breaks down

Awsome! :drool:
