I took out an adafruit motorshield from my ARduino UNO based WIND simulator as the motorshield only could support current up to 3A and I have 2 x 2.7A fans. I decided to use the PWM FAn option with only the UNO board and pin 9 input for the PWM signal. Now when I am trying to upload a new sketch the upload never starts or in other words the process freezes when the PLEASE WAIT UPLOADING phase appears on the screen. It just stops and does not progress so I just need to press the cancel button. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to reset the ARduino somehow before trying to upload a new sketch?
Wil,
I remembered that I used this video from Shaun to build my windsimulator. It worked for me!
But I had problems with my Adafruit+Arduino (I don't remember which one now) to be detected in Win10 because it was a clone version, and the driver that Win10 was trying to install was old. So, I remembered that one of the links below for the driver worked and I could upload the Simhub files to the Arduino:

- http://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH341SER_ZIP.html
I hope this helps
In addition check your Solder points. I had the same issue reordered & problem was resolved.
