Rob,

Perhaps it's better to controll the DC current throug the motor by the PIC,
instead of using PWM.

pic controlling DAC with (DC current) powerdriver.

Best regards,
marcel.
(haven`t starting programming pic's yet.)

Onderwerp: [EE] Fan noise with PWM power


I wanted to smooth noise of the airflow produced by the case-fan of my PC.
I made a simple circuit with a PIC12F683, a temperature sensor as
inpout and a PWM signal as output to control the speed of the fan.
That works, but now the fan produces a mechanical noise, apparently
with the PWM frequency. I have tried PWM frequencies between 60 and
500 to see if I just hit a resonance frequency of the fan, but the
noise remains.
Any suggestion (where to find info) on how to smooth this noise?

Regards, Rob.
