After mounting the GPIO hammer headers to my RPi Zero I am now ready to do some prototyping. The first thing I wanted to test is controlling a 4 pin PWM fan. So here is a short howto on that.

Prerequisites

Besides a RPi Zero with pin headers you need a 4 pin PWM (Pulse With Modulation) fan. I took a Noctua NF-F12 5V fan. Be aware that when you take a 12V fan it will damage your board!

To easily access the RPi Zero during setup I use an USB to serial adapter cable as described in on of my other posts.

Installation

Prepare the SD card as usually. Usually before mounting an RPi Zero I put it into my Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Since that one has an ethernet connection I can update the system and install required libraries:

	[
	{
	"name":"ABAP",
	"type":"programming",
	"extensions":[
	".abap"
	]
	},
	{
	"name":"AGS Script",

	#!/bin/sh

	# Sublime Text 3 install with Package Control
	# http://simonewebdesign.it/blog/install-sublime-text-3-on-fedora-20/

	# fix by dee1337:
	# select the correct ST3 version depending on the system - 64bit build does not work on fedora i686 32bit
