# Breadboard

A single PWM fan and single sensor is connected to a Teensy 3.2 using a breadboard.

## Hardware Requirements

1. One Breadboard
2. One Teensy 3.x with headers (previously *flashed with Teensy Fan Controller*)
3. A Micro USB cable
4. One 10k thermistor (fe. [Adafruit 10K Precision Epoxy Thermistor - 3950 NTC](https://www.adafruit.com/product/372))
5. One 10k Ohm resistor (ideally 1% or better accuracy)
6. One standard/rectifier diode (fe. 1N4004)
7. One 12v power supply (up to 15V should be OK)
8. One PWM PC fan (80mm, 120mm, 140mm)
9. Wires

Steps to set up a breadboard with a Teensy 3.2, a single fan, a single temperature sensor, and a 12v power supply:

1. Place the **Teensy** into the top end of the breadboard (**Teensy GND** on breadboard **row 1**)
2. Place a **10k Ohm resistor** between **Teensy AREF** (breadboard **I4**) and **Teensy A5** (breadboard **I8**)
3. Place a **diode** with anode at **Teensy D5** (breadboard **A6**) and cathode at breadboard **row 22** (use a wire if needed)
4. Connect **Teensy GND** (breadboard **A1**) to the **GND bus** on the **left side** of the breadboard
5. Connect **Teensy AREF** (breadboard **H3**) to **Teensy V3.3** (breadboard **H4**)
6. Connect fan (4pin PWM):
   1. Connect **fan pin 1 (GND)** to the **GND bus** on the **left side** of the breadboard
   2. Connect **fan pin 2 (12V)** to the **PWR bus** on the **left side** of the breadboard
   3. Connect **fan pin 3 (RPM)** to breadboard **row 22** (cathode side of diode)
   4. Connect **fan pin 4 (PWM)** to **Teensy D4** (breadboard **A6**)
7. Connect thermistor:
   1. Connect **thermistor pin 1** to **Teensy A5** (breadboard **J8**)
   2. Connect **thermistor pin 2** to **Teensy AGND** (breadboard **J2**)
8. Connect 12v power supply the left breadboard bus:
   1. Connect **power supply GND** to the **GND bus** on the **left side** of the breadboard
   2. Connect **power supply +12V** to the **PWR bus** on the **left side** of the breadboard

## Software Setup

Note the Teensy connections made in the previous section:

| Signal           | Teensy Pin  |
| ---------------- | ----------- |
| Fan 1 RPM pin    | D5 (pin 5)  |
