      Hey there.
      I'm using this 5vfan for my hot end fans
      I noticed that the fan was reading strangely high, so I checked the datasheet one more time and discovered that it was spec'd for 4 pulses/rotation.
      I remember that normal fans are 2 pulses/rotation, so it makes sense that a 7000 rpm fan is always showing more than 13000 rpm on the DWC.

      Here are the settings for this fan in config.g
      M950 F1 C "fan1+^exp.pb6" Q500
      M106 P1 C "ColdEndFan" S1 H1 T45

      The connection is to PB6 via 1N4148 as @dc42 has explained many times in previous threads.

      Is there any way to change the pulse per revolution setting?

        Oh, I forgot to mention...
        The board is Duet2 Ethernetv1.04, running RRF3.2.2 and DWC3.2.2.
        The fan is of course powered by an external 5v supply.

          @Kanyo it's been a long while, however the new K parameter in the M950 command used to create a fan will solve this.
