The Hugo awards are named after him.

Small fan switch sanity check. (lemmy.world)

Circuit is for controlling the fan on a Raspberry Pi, just on/off according to temp, no PWM. Not sure about the diode as it has a .7V drop and it’s a tiny brushless DC motor. No markings on the fan so I measured the current with a multimeter when hooking it up to a USB charger. Circuit was adapted from here using what I have...

Awesome. That agrees with what I calculated as well. I’m a jack when it comes to electronics.

Thank you much for the help!

Will do.

I appreciate the advice!
