Hello, I wonder if someone can help me please.
I have upgraded my Weatherduino pro plus to v4.0.
However I now find that my RS Fan is running continuously.
I wonder if I am missing a new config setting somewhere?
On the receiver it is showing OFF all the time.
This is what I have it set as:
#define FanControlSensor 0 // 0 for Sensor 0, 1 for Sensor 1 (which sensor is used to control the RS Fan)
#define fanOn_HiTemp 20 // RS Fan turn on when outside temperature is >= than this value (ºC)
#define fanOn_LowTemp 2 // RS Fan turn on when outside temperature is <= than this value (ºC)
#define fanOn_LowWind 1 // RS Fan turn on when Wind Average is <= than this value (m/s)
Everything else is working fine.
Regards Derek
Hi Derek,
Could you please post your entire Config_TX.h file?
Thank you

Hello Derek,
Everything in your config_TX.h file seems OK.
Can you please check two things:
- Is the FAN led on?
- Check if the negative wire of the fan is connected to where says -9V and not to any GND point. If the negative wire of the fan is connected to GND the fan will be always ON.
Thank you
Hello Werk
When you asked if the fan led switched on , I suddenly realised what I had done.
For ages I have had the fan connected to the led connection, not to the 9v+ and _ ones.
Not bothering with an led, so I did not realise my mistake.
It has been working fine until recently though.
I will now correct it.
Many thanks for showing me the light.
I feel such a fool, but I can put that down to age.
Best Regards Derek
Congratulations!
Remember that the description of your mistake can help someone else not to let it.
