RoboClaw 2x15A Cooling Fan Speed

Post by imarocktscientst »

Is it possible to override the cooling fan speed on the RoboClaw 2x15A? I have other components in my design that could use some extra cooling and it would be nice to use the fan that is already in the case. The fan is mounted directly over the roboclaw heatsink but the fan inlet is ducted, so everything else in the duct would also receive some benefit.

It would work something like this:
If MyFanSpeed > RoboClawFanSpeed, use my fan speed
else, use RoboClaw's fan speed

Thanks,
Jesse

Currently there is no direct control over the fan. It is entirely controlled by board temperature.
