      👋

      I've got @Egon-Net's digital-to-analog board for use with a (non-PWM) part cooling fan with the Duet 3 mini 5+.

      I finally found the time to hook it up, but am looking for a nicer way to the fan speed control. The thing is:
      Egon's board makes 0-255 PWM turn into 0-12v. My fan only turns on at 4.5v. I configured the minimum speed to be 100 PWM (with M106 L100).

      When turning the fan on and setting it's speed, I'm noticing the following:
      1-40% = constant 4.7v
      40-100% = 4.7 - 12v

      I would however like it to behave like this:
      1-100% = 4.7 - 12v (I.e. 100-255 PWM)

      Is this (currently) possible in some way?

        Not you can't currently remap the range as far as I know.

          That would be too bad. Is this something that could be implemented in a future release of RRF? Where would a feature request like that need to be submitted?

          It could be backwards compatible by simply introducing another parameter to M106, which specifies the range, like M106 X100:255 (I know X is already used, it's just intended as a placeholder).
