    making your own fan controller

    Would it be feasible to use one of the new micro pc's such as the raspberry pi or suchlike as a fan controller and is anyone here interested in assisting to write the code

    it would be possible yes, but you'd still need to use a different board to power the fans

    I like large posteriors and I cannot prevaricate

The weather application he is using to monitor the temperature and humidity might be part of that circuit board he has stacked on the pi. It has a local network address (10.10.55.100) in the address bar and he blocks the laptop's side exhaust and then later aims it the pi and you can see the reported temperature rising.

    I have the MCubed and it's peripherals but I never got aroud to installing it. From what i hear the software is pretty dated and may not even run on a modern OS (development ceased in 2008?). I wonder if they would release the code? I got the idea from a simple pi project to control a motor. I must admit at this stage that although I work in IT, I haven't got a clue regarding development or what us old folk called programming. I know a fair few who do though. The project could also use one of the various Pi touch screen as a control ;-) Thanks for your input Evanteur I would send you a personal pic of the Tardis but we've moved site and we no longer have one at Television Centre.
