How to monitor if the fan is spinning
-
So I have one normal 3pin for the hotend. I was wondering if there is a way I can monitor if it's spinning?
If it isn't then popup a message saying it's not spinning.

@ageis See the 'Connecting a 3-wire fan' tab here https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Fans_connecting#connecting-fans-to-duet-fan-pins
Most 3-wire fans have a tacho wire. However, as it says in the link above:
For all 3-wire fans, the tacho will only report the correct speed when the fan is running at 100%.
I'm not sure what fan speed is reported when the fan is not set to 100%. Ideally, swap the fan out for a 4-wire fan.

I find that using a basic Eyeball Mark I works pretty well.
