PWM Controlled Fans
I haven't seen this anywhere else so I thought I'd ask. Is anyone using the PWM output to run fans? IE make the fans go faster when the tank/lights are hotter and vice versa? This would help provide a more consistant tank temperature overall.

Re: PWM Controlled Fans
I do.
I actually have PWM fans that worked fine with RA since day 1.
And I also use PWM blowers that are much stronger that I use to cool down water temperature when my lights are on.
These did give me problems and I had to build a special opto-isolator or the blower would start messing with the controller and it would not function properly.
