| Help with 12v 4pin PWM fan |
| (1/2) > >> |
| happirt:
I am trying to setup a 12v 4pin fan with a potentiometer to regulate the speed. This is not for a PC so I don't have a motherboard, instead just a 12v battery and a NE555 timer based PWM controller. My problem is when the green colored ground connection from PWM controller OUT to common ground is connected the PWM is sending a constant 12v not pulsing as it should. What is wrong here? |

Is that PWM module switching ground instead of switching positive? Any data sheets on that module? |
| happirt:
unfortunately no diagram, but YES it sounds like it is switching positive instead of ground, what can I do?? |
| happirt:
will this switch ground or positive? https://diyodemag.com/_images/5a8bb4a6c672e0a73df42bcf |
| PTR_1275:
That’s switching negative. |
