So, here we are, putting the final(-ish) touches on our smart fan controller project. What started as a simple temperature-based fan switch has evolved into something much more sophisticated. Now, we’re talking temperature offsets, data logging, real-time charts, and even NTP time synchronization. If you missed the original posts where this project started, make sure…

In our ongoing quest to improve our custom fan controller project, we’re taking a major step forward by introducing Over-the-Air (OTA) updates. This addition will allow us to push new sketches to our ESP8266-based fan controller without needing to physically access the device, making maintenance and updates a breeze. If you missed our previous posts,…

Following up on our initial project, Building a Smarter Fan Controller for Your Rack, we’re taking it a step further by adding a web interface. This will allow us to display the current temperature, as well as the on and off threshold temperatures, making it easier to monitor and view the current configuration of our…

Ah, the joys of tech life – nothing beats the satisfaction of optimizing your gear to run just right. Today, I’m diving into a little project we had at our office, involving our 37U rack from Sysracks. The rack itself has been fantastic, shipped flat-packed, and built with solid instructions. It’s a four-post wonder with…
