      Hello everybody,

      on My Duet Wifi Board i want to use a 12 V Fan with Fan Speed contol by a 24 V System.

      I have testet it with a standard step Down Modul. I have set it to 12 V.

      But the Problem is when the Imput Voltage is under 24 V the Modul keeps the voltage at a constant 12 V.

      However, no speed control is possible.

      Are there any other modules or a different solution for this?

            Try a buck converter to drop the 24V down to 12V for certain fans.

              Fan speed on Duet is controlled by PWM signal on negative (Ground) side. So whatever your positive voltage is (12v in your case after step down module) connect fan negative to fan connector negative of Duet and you can controll its speed. Read it again and do as instruction says. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fans#Section_Using_12V_fans_when_VIN_is_24V

                  Thanks.
                  But it is false. I want not all fans use with 12 V.
                  Only one fan must have 12 V.

                  ; Fans
                  M106 P0 S0.3 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
                  M106 P1 S0.1 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off

                    yes it will, read section 3 again. until you understand it.

                      @bearer That Wiring Diagram is for a Duet Maestro.
                      I have a Duet Wifi Board. The Problem is i have other Jumper and Pins. https://d17kynu4zpq5hy.cloudfront.net/igi/duet3d/4k56ZjaaAHrTJI6Z.huge

                        as the other have suggested in this thread. there is nothing stopping you from just changing the voltage on one fan. convert any 24v line to 12v and connect the negative to the gnd pin on the fan connector.

                          Another problem is security because the stepdown module is then directly on the power supply. The power supply delivers 300 watts.
                          I definitely have to install a fuse.

                            if you want to be on the save side, why dont you just buy 5v fans and replace all of them.

                                @bearer Ok Now I understand it. The problem was that I didn't understand the jumper. What he does.
                                I just checked it. From factory it ist on the right Position.

                                And I had only read that first and at that time I didn't know that the speed on the duet board would be switched over - the pole. The principle was new for me.

                                Thank you for your help and patience me.
