The computer knows there's a fan because it sees tacho output. If it doesn't see tacho, shrug. You can get an external temperature-controlled PWM controller for a few units of your local currency on AliExpress, steal 12V from somewhere (Molex header or whatever) and run the fans off that. Figure out where to put the temp sensor to get the desired effect.
There are far better ways to do this, but they require software engineering, not €3 and 15 minutes.
The computer knows there is a fan because it knows when there isn't a fan. By subtracting where there is a fan from where there isn't a fan, or where there isn't from where there is (whichever is greater) it obtains a difference, or deviation...
How does the computer knows that? You mean the parts that can meassure temperature will meassure where it gets warmer, or where it doesn't get warmer, altough it should?
How does the system knows, it is not a local heat pipe, transferring heat away?
This meme makes perfect sense in almost all contexts - at least continuous ranges are involved. I salute GP for fitting it for use with a discrete case.
The problem is not the fan, it’s the fan controller on the motherboard. I doubt a nonfancy fan controller will bother to drop off the bus/whatever if it doesn’t have fans connected, and the comment by 'patrakov upthread seems to confirm this.
Your project seems to be the opposite of Hytale; only 5 years instead of 10, and you've got a usable, working product without grifting for investor dollars.
Resale value is important for wheelchairs. My dad had an electric one for about 8 months before he passed on, and the TCO was well under the price of all these alt concepts.

I don’t do this. I write expecting the audience to pretty much have read the entirety of my blog to understand any single entry. I like to think there’s a mystique to it — I’ve long enjoyed unpacking the ideas of obscure thinkers, myself.
Then: I’ve known of maybe 10 people over a combined five years that have made the effort to read a lot of my stuff.
It's a reasonable assumption to make when someone invokes the term "free speech" in a majority-American forum. (I'm making some assumptions about visitors of HN here, who are probably more international than most places I'm in, but still.)
To me “Man” has more of a “each and every” connotation. Compare
“Man must achieve this.”
“Humanity must achieve this.”
The latter is more of a collective emergent thing. And in some cases that leaves you with a diffusion of responsibility kind of passive feeling, while the former is a call to action.
It's more than just your ear. The way we use language to describe individuals versus groups highlights a divide between personal responsibilities and collective rights. All too often individuals use the group as a means to avoid personal responsibility.
You can if you want, but that ignores how one of the accepted definitions of "man" is humanity. If you're just swapping words without understanding their deeper implications, you might miss the point. It's not about the gendered language; it's about the collective achievements and struggles of all people.
So, are we really focusing on inclusion, or are we just playing word games?
I remember writing down everywhere — in notebooks, calendars — all full of teenage fury and conviction: “OBSERVE THE MASTER / IMITATE THE MASTER / BECOME THE MASTER”. An edgy 14 year old I was. I don’t remember the source for that anymore; it looks too wise to have come from myself.
this is not restricted to the east. it’s not as explicitly culturally enshrined, but “lurk moar” is a well known way to sponge up tacit knowledge, particularly physical tacit knowledge.
watching an old guy do things like: work in his shop, organize his code, ski a clean line, repair a toilet, re-rack his tools, prep the kitchen counter to cook, etc. etc. is always valuable and i recommend doing so whenever you get the chance.
This is how I originally learned vi. Watching a crusty old guy who occasionally explained his keystrokes and didn't think it was worth mentioning that alternatives existed. (After all, if the alternative requires eight megabytes and constant swapping, is it worth mentioning?)
