Despite working in IT I am quite ignorant when it comes hardware/electronics.
Today's project: trying to figure out why that sbc I put batocera Linux on doesn't want to run it's fan.
I still haven't actually come to a conclusion. The Le Potato sbc has a different gpio layout than the raspberry, and batocera is weirdly different from anything I am used to.
In the end I learned that not connecting one of the cables to its pin lets the fan spin on full power. And that's OK for now.
