I need to know how to connect and set up a PWM fan on Le Potato

Hardware

Hi there!

I have purchased a Le Potato and installed Armbian to create a little local Apache server on my local host and is working very nice. I am very happy with it!

The case I purchased came with a PWM fan: LoveRPi Active Cooling Media Center PC Case for Raspberry Pi 3 and Lib

I connected it like in the picture: https://www.loverpi.com/cdn/shop/files/DSC09616_modified_fan_1500.jpg?v=1699083142&width=1100

However, I noted that is not “plug & play”. Being trying to do some research to make it work, but because I am very new, I do not know what I need to look for.

Any help?

Regards.

Please use search: How to Read and Control PWM Fan Speed on AML-S905X-CC

We do not recommend using Armbian for our boards if you are interfacing with hardware or need tested reliability.

Thank you for the information!

I will make a copy of Armbian with dd, just in case, and will try with Debian. I just need something lightweight to run Apache, Samba and maybe Kodi or Jellyfin.

Many thanks!
