Fan Motor Library for MicroBlocks

Welcome to the Fan Motor Library for MicroBlocks!
This library makes it easy for anyone—even if you don’t know how to code or use a computer much—to control a fan motor using simple blocks in MicroBlocks.

Features

Easy drag-and-drop blocks for controlling your fan motor
No coding required
Turn on & off the fan
Control the speed of the fan
Beginner-friendly instructions

Getting Started

What you need:

Spark microcontroller and connecting wires
MicroBlocks IDE installed (Download here)
A fan motor and basic connecting wires

Installation

Download the Fan Motor Library:
Download the library file from here.
Open MicroBlocks IDE on your computer.
Add the Library:
- Go to the library manager in MicroBlocks.
- Click “Import Library” or drag and drop the downloaded file into the IDE.

How to Use

Connect your fan motor to your microcontroller’s pins (see your board’s pinout for details).
Open MicroBlocks IDE and make sure your board is connected.
Find the Fan Motor blocks in the blocks menu.
Drag the blocks you want to use into your script area.
- For example:
- “Set Pin Value
- “Turn Fan On”
- “Set Fan Speed”
Click the green flag or “Run” to start controlling your fan!

Example Project

To use the fan motor block, simply enter the pin number where your fan is connected.
Next, choose whether you want to turn the fan on or off.
Finally, set the motor speed as a percentage (%) to control how fast the fan spins.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning?
- Double-check your wiring.
- Make sure your microcontroller is powered on.
Blocks not showing up?
- Make sure you imported the library correctly.
Still stuck?
