I saw the Shakeit PWM fans outputs section in the SIMHUB and decided to buy the parts needed to build a wind sim

I am assuming this will work, but using Pin 9 & 10 instead of both going to 3:

 

my question is, if I use both pins 9 and 10 for PWM does that mean the simulator will fade between left and right as you turn?

If not, is there a benefit from using both 9 & 10 instead of just combining them like the image and using just 9? 

Also I want to use these fans:

Will those work provided I have a reducer and air straightener?

I modelled one here are the images of the models:

Hi ! Indeed it's worth splitting both channels (which is only a matter of a single additionnal wire when using PWM fans)

Then you can fade the power when turning 😉 (this screenshot is taken from the wind dedicated plugin available since a few weeks, but the full shakeit plugin also offers that option.

Still need to know if a Powersupply with

input =100-120v~50/60Hz 1.0A

output = 12v===2.5A

and a Arduino Uno can handle two of these fans:

@avatario I used those fans and they are working great.
