TinyFan Fan Driver

This is the TinyFan a fan (and fun) driver that controls up to 4 12V fans using just an ATTiny45 or ATTiny8, 4 tactile switches and some electronic components (most general use, aka cheap).

The programming of the ATTiny has the folowing capabilities:

  • Can use PWM in 2 of the outputs (labeled 1 and 2)
  • The tactlie switches have a secondary (special) function if held during 2 seconds.
  • The program can use EEPROM memory to save last state in the chip. Also, if you don't want this feature, you can disable it.

Also you have available two designs: Prefboard or PCB.

Update 15 Aug 2012 (00:00)
Improved the programming. Now memory is only rewrited after a state sticks for 2 seconds (saving writes while changing the PWM state), and also the code has been reduced (1.96KB without EEPROM, 2.27KB with EEPROM).
