Depending on your kit version, please identify whether you have **ADC0834** or **MCP3008** and proceed with the matching section.
Introduction
-----------------
In this project, we will use motors, buttons and thermistors to make a
manual + automatic smart fan whose wind speed is adjustable.
Required Components
------------------------------
In this project, we need the following components.

Experimental Procedures
-----------------------------
**Step 1:** Build the circuit.
.. image:: ../python_pi5/img/4.1.10_smart_fan_circuit.png
.. note::
The power module can apply a 9V battery with the 9V Battery
Buckle in the kit. Insert the jumper cap of the power module into the 5V
bus strips of the breadboard.
.. image:: ../python_pi5/img/4.1.10_smart_fan_battery.jpeg

**Step 2**: Get into the folder of the code.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
cd ~/raphael-kit/python-pi5
**Step 3**: Run.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
sudo python3 4.1.10_SmartFan_zero.py
As the code runs, start the fan by pressing the button. Every time you
press, 1 speed grade is adjusted up or down. There are **5** kinds of
speed grades: **0~4**. When set to the 4\ :sup:`th` speed grade and you
press the button, the fan stops working with a **0** wind speed.
Once the temperature goes up or down for more than 2℃, the speed
automatically gets 1-grade faster or slower.
Code
--------
.. note::
You can **Modify/Reset/Copy/Run/Stop** the code below. But before that, you need to go to source code path like ``raphael-kit/python-pi5``. After modifying the code, you can run it directly to see the effect.
