The KIPAS 3 CM is a compact cooling fan designed for efficient airflow in electronic enclosures. It is commonly used to dissipate heat and maintain optimal operating temperatures in various electronic systems. With its small size and reliable performance, the KIPAS 3 CM is ideal for applications such as computer cases, power supplies, and other heat-sensitive electronic devices.
This circuit consists of an RGB LED controlled by three pushbuttons, each corresponding to one of the LED's color channels (Red, Green, and Blue). The pushbuttons are powered by a MAHIR 1.mini power source, allowing the user to manually toggle each color channel of the RGB LED.

void setup() {
pinMode(fanPin, OUTPUT); // Set the fan control pin as an output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(fanPin, HIGH); // Turn the fan ON
delay(5000); // Keep the fan ON for 5 seconds
digitalWrite(fanPin, LOW); // Turn the fan OFF
delay(5000); // Keep the fan OFF for 5 seconds
}
