Hi,
Will this solution work? Use a pulse counter to measure the speed of the PC fan:

Re: Pulse Counter 3-pin fan PC
Hello LisaM,
thanks for your answer!
I know for at least 25 years that a PC fan has 3 wires, Vin, GND and a tach output. But this was not the question.
Jufo asked if his solution of connecting the tach signal to the ESP will work.
But I cannot see his picture, he (or she?!) has posted.
And he did not get any answer.
Maybe he found something out by himself or anybody else has helped him?!
So I am interested in this topic, if there is a solution or not.
Thanks and best regards,
Chris
