Re: Reading fan tacho signal frequency?

Well, the tacho signal is an open drain output, that does introduce any voltage in the system. You can use a 10KΩ pull up resistor to 3.3Vcc and a 3.3V z-diode connected to ground as voltage divider to limit the tacho signal voltage to 3.3V max. Noctua provides a white paper on more details about th...

I think I have everything I need, except I don't know how to read the fan speed. I will use an analog in to read ...

Re: Differences between Micropython ports for ESP32 and ESP8266

The only reason for me to choose ESP32 over ESP8266 was the LoBo MicroPython build with SSH client. I my use case I wanted to add additional buttons to my new PC case to start/stop VMs running on the hypervisor. I needed a secure way to login to the hypervisor and execute a command. LoBos SSH client...
