Hello everyone,
First, I'm French, sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
Next, i would like to thanks you for Simhub !
I share with you my list of components for my Arduino Simhub project :

| 1 | Matrix led | for shifter | 8*8 | 2 € | https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32652524641.html |
| 1 | Matrix led | for rpm | 8*1 | 1 € | https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32652524641.html |
| 1 | 5 rotary encoders | for abs+/- & tx +/- | 5 pack | 3 € | https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001453647644.html |
(if the display of table doesn't work, you can use this one here)
What do you think about this setup ?
My first question is about compatibility between these products, i want to install :
- On arduino uno :
- 2 fans shields VNH2SP30
- 2 fans
- 2 motors
- 1 LCD display
- 1 matrix led 8x8
- 1 matrix led 8x1
- 2 fans shields VNH2SP30
- On arduino Leonardon/pro micro :
- 8 switchs
- 5 rotary encoders
Do you think it is doable?
My second question is about fans:
- These fans are basics one, with 2 wires, no PWM and no RPM meter, it will works ?
- Do you know some goods fans ?
My third and last one :
- How works VNH2SP30 ? I need to pin it on Arduino (this mean 1 arduino = 1 motor shield) or i can wire 2 shield on my Uno with others components like display, etc...
Thanks you very much, bye !
Hello !
Up 🙂
Bonjour!
I believe the fans that you are looking at will work for what you want to do, the PWM part is supplied by the Arduino, all the fans know is they're getting less power so they will spin slower.
Best of luck!
