### Project 7: Fan **Description** In this project, we will learn how to make a small fan. **Component Knowledge** The small fan uses a 130 DC motor and safe fan blades. You can use PWM output to control the fan speed. ![image33](../media/33da52918e88862a94035d61a9050f2e.png) **Control Method** Two pins are required to control the motor of the fan, one for INA and two for INB. The PWM value range is 0~255. When the PWM output of the two pins is different, the fan can rotate. | INA - INB <= -45 | Rotate clockwise | | --- | --- | | INA - INB >= 45 | Rotate anticlockwise | | INA ==0, INB == 0 | Stop | **Control Pins** | INA | 19 | | --- | --- | | INB | 18 | #### Project 7.1 Fan We can control the anticlockwise and clockwise rotation speed of the fan. **Test Code** ```python from machine import Pin,PWM import time #Two pins of the motor INA =PWM(Pin(19,Pin.OUT),10000)#INA corresponds to IN+ INB =PWM(Pin(18,Pin.OUT),10000)#INB corresponds to IN- try: while True: #Counterclockwise 2s INA.duty(0) #The range of duty cycle is 0-1023 INB.duty(700) time.sleep(2) #stop 1s INA.duty(0) INB.duty(0) time.sleep(1) #Turn clockwise for 2s INA.duty(600) INB.duty(0) time.sleep(2) #stop 1s INA.duty(0) INB.duty(0) time.sleep(1) except: INA.duty(0) INB.duty(0) INA.deinit() INB.deinit() ``` **Test Result** The fan will rotate clockwise and anticlockwise at different speeds. #### Project 7.2 Button Control Fan Button one controls the fan switch. **Test Code** ```python from machine import Pin,PWM import time #Two pins of the motor INA =PWM(Pin(19,Pin.OUT),10000)#INA corresponds to IN+ INB =PWM(Pin(18,Pin.OUT),10000)#INB corresponds to IN- button1 = Pin(16, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP) count = 0 try: while True: btnVal1 = button1.value() # Reads the value of button 1 if(btnVal1 == 0): time.sleep(0.01) while(btnVal1 == 0): btnVal1 = button1.value() if(btnVal1 == 1): count=count + 1 print(count) val = count % 2 if(val == 1): INA.duty(0) #The range of duty cycle is 0-1023 INB.duty(700) else: INA.duty(0) INB.duty(0) except: INA.duty(0) INB.duty(0) INA.deinit() INB.deinit() ``` **Test Result** Click button 1, the fan starts to rotate, the press the button 1 again, the fan stops.
