- Controlled fan turns on only when H-bridge is generating a non-zero output voltage (8 fans amount to 0.5 A).
How do we turn off this feature to run the fans constantly? Once hot, a FET wants to be cooled down even if it is not passing current. And I hope this doesn't mean the fans are connected to the output of the H bridge.
