RS Fan config. - Derek - 16-10-2017
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
RE: RS Fan config. - Derek - 17-10-2017
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.
