I did something not a million miles away, only this was maintaining the temperature of a test jig. I use a DS18B20 to monitor the temperature and then either enable a heater, or switch on a couple of fans. The heater or fans switch on by enabling a cheap ebay sourced dual relay board. Done in pytho...

Re: Raspberry Pi Capability

Hi, the number of fans depends on how you want to control them. Are you happy to have all 10 switch on or off at the same time - you'll need just 1 GPIO port line? Of if you want each individual fan to be independently controlled them you'll need (for example) 10 GPIO port lines. By 'the setpoints ...

Re: Raspberry Pi Capability

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/TRMfd6 Thank you. The only relevant part in the list is the fans, which are designed for a PC motherboard.

Re: Raspberry Pi Capability

I will want to control the fans via tempretue sensor. I will also want to run two LED strips through the Raspberry Pi so when the sensor reaches a certain tempreture the led will change. For example 50 degrees + will turn the LEDS red. I hope this gives you some more information :/
