      So, the doc is pretty clear https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Fans_connecting#connecting-fans-to-duet-fan-pins states that it expects Intel spec fans, as in two pulses per revolution.

      I happen to use a blower that has a signal at which 1Hz means 60rpm. Any way to fudge the value so that the DWC shows the actual value?

        @janjoh I suggest you create a feature request for this at https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues. We would need to add an additional parameter to the M950 command when it is used to create a fan.

          @dc42 THank you for confirming. I've added such a request now, while at the same time understanding that this is in every way a cosmetical low priority wish 🙂

            I had once a similar problem. My Duet2 was not able to read the low rpm of a flowmeter.
            My solution was for sure a bit complex. But it was a cool experience, because it was my first project with a raspberry pi pico and phyton.
            I have devloped a tacho signal "shifter". You can multiply or divide every incoming signal by 1-15.

              @cosmowave While the thought HAD crossed my mind, i figured that it is not that important.

              I however tip my hat for a creative workaround 🙂

                @janjoh please try the new firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/p0136wx04h8xf6ejwdnn9/h?rlkey=efrfwyb6o5tqid11gustz3uvy&dl=0 and use the new K parameter in your M950 command that defines the fan connection.
