+A simple esp fan controller I created for an HP DL380p G8, it replaces the PWM signals from the motherboard
+
+WARNING! ESP8266 may need a pull-up resistor on the pin used for PWM output depending on the model. Upgrading the heatsink on the RAID controller is advised as it tends to be the hottest running component (also stock heatsink is laughable).
+
+How does it work? Fans are usually controlled by 6 individual PWM signals, in order to take control of them, we can cut all the connectors and jump tach to ground (yellow and black cables in my case), this is necessary to avoid fan errors from iLO. The 3 remaining connectors should be +12V, GND and PWM (blue in the 380p G8). I connected all fans and PWM wires in parallel and then hooked the signal up to pin 2 (D4) on my wemos d1 mini. Power for the fans can be taken from the 12V connector on the HDD backplane, directly from the motherboard, or any other high-current capable 12V power plane.
+Default speed is 20% and is computed as (100-20)*255, as control logic is reversed for these fans (this way they "fail" fully on when no signal is present! very clever).
+Lastly, the system can automatically update fan speed if the ESP is connected to the motherboard via USB: simply sending "S025" will set the fans at 25%, "S050" at 50%... and so on! One must write a script that checks for temperatures and sends these commands out over serial.
