Re: cooling fans and c++

Oh! Which fans are you thinking of?

There are small fans mounted on the Victors. Those are the ones we've been talking about. The suggested way to wire those is to connect the blue and red wires to the Victor power input terminals.

There are small fans already built in to the Jaguars. They take care of themselves and you don't need to worry about them.

There are also some additional Victor-sized fans and a couple of much larger fans in the Kit of Parts. Is that what you're asking about? You can connect them to the output of a Spike if you want to be able to turn them on and off using your program. You can also connect them directly to a 20A branch circuit from the Power Distribution board. I wouldn't recommend any other options.
