    analog to digital temperature regulated fan control hub?

    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08C2FWMX9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fbclid=IwAR1j0U0B8sOK_sCYWsD3pBKXb1gfI5k2AzlxXef8B5V2etX1t9rkZWc4eeI Yes. These are trhe fans, they are 6 pin rgb connectors then they go out to a 3 pin LED header

    analog to digital temperature regulated fan control hub?

    Ive got 7 can fans that I'd like to control using a temperature sensor from a straight 12v connection and get a digital out to my Aorus Z390 motherboard so I can monitor them. Has anyone done something similar? I already have a hub that gets 12v sata power, the fans a 6 pin connectors, 3 for...

    Where do I begin when making a temperature controlled fan hub?

    I would like to know the best way to improve my pc's situation, and also get more into making prototypes and overall circuitry. I have ordered some crimping tools, a helping hands tool, harnesses and soldering equipment to get me going, so ideally I would like to have this circuit working...

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    not saying im qualified, just saying Ive got a brain, a rudimentary understanding of current flow, a pandemic induced obsessive personality and a lot of time

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    easiest way to find and identify a ground fault is checking the resistance of electrical outlets on the circuit?

    the one in the switch has earth running through, tied into the back box with a bolt and branched to the dimmer

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    what youre saying though, is that this problem extends throughout the house. So whats my best course of actions? test all connected grounds in the house for the fault? Bit of a propject anyhow seeing as this'll likely be demolished by next year :( might aw well treat my home to some foreplay

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    its REALLY strobing. dimmer bulb or not, i dont think im supposed to be hearing the dimmer in the switch box strobing as well, you think? I pretty much did nothing different but add a switch with what I assume is a groud loop/attenuator circuit inside the switch itself/ Same connections...

    oh ****... the demonstration had these bulbs sitting right next to similar ones with dimmers wired up at home depot. these are not usable with dimmers. woops.

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    I believe that is how I have it wired. Any idea on why it is strobing?

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    so the ground wire goes straight through both sides, with it screwed into the back of the box and twisted off. The left side is the main breaker side, with the hot wire pigtailed through the lightswitch into the light, and god knows where the black goes after that..

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    I uploaded a video, I just wired it up and flipped back the breaker after double checking the OHM resistance on a multi meter on both lives, and checking voltages for safety.. there is functionality but a strobing effect. The lightbgulbs are LED bulbs 60Watts. is it just the bulbs? EDIT...

    Can someone please explain this light switch wiring to me?

    So on further research, it looks like the power coming in is pigtailed into the switches throughput, rather than simply breaking/bridging the hot connection, then wired back through as a separate line from the main connection into the light fixture. the only reason i can come up with for this...
