Making a 555 Temperature-Controlled Fan Controller

This is a companion video for our Circuit Component Super Series at Motbots.com. In this video we make a 555 Temperature-Controlled Fan Controller from the circuit build instructional content in Part 4 of our series titled, "Putting Components to Work: Making a 555 Temperature Controlled Fan Controller." It's encouraged that you go check out our Circuit Component Super Series, particularly "Putting Components to Work," to gain a better understanding of how the components used for this circuit work together to control a 12VDC brushless fan using a 555 timer.
