Debugging

Step 1: Find a fan, such as a DC 5V 0.32A fan from the editor’s laptop. Have a little change about pins and make it suitable for breadboard. Just like this:

Step 2: Build the circuit according to schematic:

Step 3: Download the code and compile. If there is no rotation, it means the detected temperature is below 23℃, which is the initial value of the code. You can take a hot water cup close to the temperature sensor. The higher the temperature is, the faster the fan rotates.

Step 4: Make use of the principle to cool your laptop. Here we adopt a simple Bed’nTable as the support:

Take the sensor and fan near and below the CPU of the laptop:

Result

This smart laptop base can control temperature and be powered by USB cable.
